happening to Brazils patent and trade mark office in preparation for the up

president has announced changes to the patent department changing the
procedures for applying for patents.
This will eliminate un-patentable applications early in the application
process shortening time to obtain a patent down to 6 or 7 years. This also
contains a law that establishes an ambush law that will affect the Olympic
games 2016. The Olympic at will intern
protect all of the trademarks for the games from ambush marketers who attempt
to create their own merchandise. It will
also prevent non-commercial use of any trademark held by the international
Olympic committee. They also discus changes in the copyright law in Brazil that
help update the old logic of the laws that hinder new technology. Right now it is illegal in Brazil to capture
MP3’s of a CD to transfer to an IPod.
Old laws like that one will be revised and updated.

The art of law /
Law of art podcast
Matt foster,
host of this podcast, discusses the use of copyright law by artist and
designers in his interview with Richard Alves.
This discussion explains how copyright law protects owners by giving
them the right to perform, display, copy, and license their intellectual
property. The law protects the copyright
holders work of art from others infringing on the potential market place. When a CD or a piece of art is purchased the
person who buys it is granted a right to display it for personal use but cannot
duplicate and resell copies of the work.
Works for hire
are interesting within themselves. The
work for hire doctrine states that the person who commissions an artist to
produce a work of art is considered the author of it. This pertains to artist hired by a company as
an employee to produce various works of art.
The company essentially owns the copyright of the work. This is very prevalent in the motion picture
industry. The 3D animator for Disney’s
Pixar who creates and models a character is hired by Pixar to create that work
of art. Pixar intern, owns the copyright
of the work witch gives them the right to reproduce, sell, license and create
derivative works of the artwork, however they may choose to give credit to the
animator.

It is always a
good idea for creative artist to seek out to obtain their copyright
registration with the United States copyright office at copyright.gov.
