The assignment compares the intellectual property laws of Brazil and Australia. It discusses the trademark law of Brazil, which is regulated by Federal Law No. 9279 of May 14, 1996, and administered by INPI. The assignment also explains that the registration of trademarks in Brazil is not obligatory but recommended for foreign geographical indications. In contrast, Australian trademark law is use-based rights based on common law and the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth), administered by IP Australia. It suggests going for registration as against use-based rights in trademarks to bring advantages of nationwide rights and constructive notice.
