Recently, the São Paulo State Court issued an important ruling recognizing the standing of the São Paulo State Board of Trade (JUCESP) as a defendant in a lawsuit seeking the cancellation of business registrations created fraudulently through the misuse of a trademark duly registered with the BPTO.

In this material, we discuss the importance and implications of this ruling in the field of intellectual property.
