The executive power is exercised by the President of the Republic assisted by the Ministers of State. (Article No. 76). The judicial power is organized into Federal and State Courts.

The Constitution of Brazil contains provisions that specifically refer to copyright and related rights (Art 5, §27), and industrial property rights (Art 5, §29).
The Constitution also guarantees the protection of the intellectual property rights by giving the Union the exclusive power to enact laws related to commerce, informatics, telecommunication, radio broadcasting, cartographic and geological systems (Art. 22, § 1, § 4, § 18).
