INPI

INPI, or the National Institute of Industrial Property, is a government agency responsible for managing and protecting intellectual property rights, such as patents, trademarks, and industrial designs. It oversees the registration process, ensuring creators and businesses have legal recognition and exclusive rights to their innovations and brands. By doing so, INPI encourages innovation, entrepreneurship, and fair competition, while also helping consumers identify genuine products and services. Essentially, it acts as a guardian of intellectual property, fostering a secure environment for inventors and companies to develop and showcase their ideas.
