The criminal procedures are applied in cases of copyright and patent infringements or other cases of infringement of intellectual property rights. For example, Articles 71 to 77 of the Copyright Law (also known as Law No. 11.723 of September 28, 1933, on Legal Intellectual Property Regime) provides for criminal procedures and penalties to be applied in cases of criminal copyright infringement.
Article 2 of the Civil Code stipulates: “Laws shall not be binding until after their publication, and as of the stated day. If no day is stated, they shall be binding eight days following their official publication.”
This Law was published in the Official Gazette on September 9, 1991 (B.O. 09/09/91), with no specific date of entry into force; based on Article 2 of the Civil Code it entered into force eight days after its publication.
