Resumo

Trademarks and copyrights are part of intellectual property. They are intended, as types of protection, to guarantee the exclusive exploitation of intangible assets. The former protect distinctive signs that serve to differentiate products and services in the market. Copyrights are intended to protect literary and artistic works. Despite the differences, copyright works have been required as trademarks, invading the protection guaranteed to distinctive signs. This article aims to analyze the problems involving the cumulative nature of copyright and trademark protections based on cases extracted from the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) database, confronting these with the literature on trademarks and copyright. By conclusions, it is understood that the use of the trademark system for the protection of copyright works may not be interesting for the balance of protection systems, mitigating the public interest that justifies the recognized protections.
