Hi,
I'm a law student in the U.S., focusing on patent law. I've lived and worked overseas before, in Asia. I'd like to get back out of the U.S. when I graduate in another year, and was thinking about Brazil. Some of the students at my school are from Sao Paulo, and they think it would be quite doable, especially since I'm patent-bar qualified.
Can anyone tell me what the restrictions are for foreign attorneys, in particular for patent attorneys? The only information I've been able to find so far suggests that I can set up a practice or join a foreign attorney firm, but that Brazilian attorneys cannot affiliate with foreign attorneys.
Muito obrigado,
H.
