In fact, pharmaceutical products without health registrations cannot be advertised.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ruling is of interest for pharmaceutical companies since health registration processes for pharmaceutical products may be lengthy and the trademarks under which they are intended to be commercialized may become open for non-use cancellation actions during that time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, it is important to start trademark use as soon as possible once the health registration is granted since it will no longer be possible to justify the lack of use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHARMACEUTICAL TRADEMARKS MAY BE DEFENDED FROM NON-USE CANCELLATION ACTIONS BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OF A PENDING HEALTH REGISTRATION<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian Superior Court of Justice issued a memorable decision upon ruling the special appeal in case Wyeth vs Farmoqu\u00edmica No. 1.377.159 \u2013 RJ (2013\/0092320-4), stating that pharmaceutical companies may defend their trademarks from non-use cancellation actions based on a pending health registration process before the National Health Surveillance Agency for the products under those trademarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8339,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[146],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-boletin-legal","areas-abogado-intellectual-property"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
