Title: Contribuição ao estudo do contrato de licença de uso de marca
Abstract: The scope of this thesis is the analysis of the Trademark License Agreement in the light of Law 9.279/96 (Brazilian Industrial Property Law) and the Civil Code of 2002, as well as the legal consequences arising therefrom, especially under the national legal system.This work equally indicates that the agreement under review requires further investigation on the principles and provisions of general contract law rooted in civil code in force, given its complexity and wide range of institutes of Civil and Commercial Law, as well as indissoluble economic elements of the legal reality which permeates it.The topics that limit the orbit of the Trademark License Agreement are objects of this study and are, therefore, essential for the understanding and critical analysis of the institute, for which we will also run over the international law and comparative jurisprudence.In the wake of the goals of the current thesis, it is intended to proceed with the examination of legislative, doctrinal and jurisprudential developments with regard to the juridical instrument under consideration.Debates concerning the new trends in treatment of the subject under the International and Brazilian Law are also mentioned, especially in relation to the application of the general principles of Contract Law and other regulations established by the current Civil Code, in which there was the amalgamation of the Obligation Law.The demarcation of the civil principles applicable to the Trademark License Agreements still remains pending consolidation in Brazil, due to the newly and still embryonic civil legislation, as may be largely understood from this study.Finally, in accordance with the social function principle, there is recommendation in order to rewrite an article set forth by the current trademark law, with the aim to harmonize the modified article with the afore said principle.
