| Abstract: | This article aims to evaluate
the potential use of collective marks and geographical indications as forms of
protection for ownership and differentiation of handicraft production in
Brazil, considered as intangible heritage. Although, the instruments of
intellectual property are, a priori,
suitable only for products with industrial application, the above instruments
of IPR could be applied to traditional crafts as well. Geographical indications
and collective marks are forms of intellectual property protection that are
associated with reputation protection and market distinctiveness. Apparently,
they could be effectively used to protect and appropriate benefits of economic
exploitation in the case of craftsmanship as in Brazilian artisan products |
