A eficácia dos sistemas e procedimentos administrativos de proteção ao software

Abstract

Due to the current importance that the software has been gaining in economic market, we conjecture about the imperative need to rethink the current software protection profile. Brazilian law concerning the issue addressed some provisions on the software, but there are some limitations. It happens that the regulatory system cannot advance and monitor the international situation where the studies are focused on patent law and that have raised complex dilemmas. Such protection is based on the need to protect the non-literal elements in software and technical functions that exist behind the software concept is the real market problem. Work is then the legal framework that supports the software and the creation of a act that meets all the specificities of this type of property without impeding other protective measures, aimed at social interest and economic development of our country.
