About 100 people followed the debate, which had as participants: Diana de Mello Jungmann, coordinator of Intellectual Property for Innovation in Industry at the National Confederation of Industries (CNI); Eduardo Caminati, partner at Lino, Geraldi, Belluzo e Caminati Advogados; and Gérson Maurício Schmitt, president of ABES. The discussion was mediated by Carlos Raíces, from Valor Econômico newspaper.

During the event, participants showed that the international scene will show news in the legislative sphere. The new American law Sale of Products - Stolen or Misappropriated Information Technology prevents a toy manufacturer in China, for example, from selling its products to American stores if it uses pirated software or hardware. In the case of inspection, the entire consumer chain can be punished.

According to the president of ABES, 1.180 member companies had a loss of US $ 4 billion from piracy last year. “We need to create a country with a reputation, with sufficient methodology to show competitiveness. Ensuring safety in the process is just as important as the final product ”, commented Schmitt.

According to him, to get ahead, and diversify the export basket with the sale of products with higher added value, Brazilian companies must have greater control over the regularity of the computer products used. "Software is in all sectors of the economy," said the president of ABES.

Diana de Mello Jungmann, from CNI, explained that there is a wide range of actions and work carried out by the institution aiming at strengthening the debate more and more as a way of integrating the industry with the government. "CNI launches a business movement in the scope of innovation, takes this movement as a direct interlocutor with the executive branch and proposes this as a challenge", he exemplified.

The coordinator also pointed out that CNI has programs with resources that are usually 50% financed by the government and the other 50% by companies. "The most important thing is to be able to bring the discussion to the economic level and, thus, awaken the authorities of the executive and legislative". Other points were discussed during the debate by lawyer Eduardo Caminati, such as the laws that protect unfair competition: Intellectual Property Law, Copyright Law, Software Law and also talked about the Federal Government's Brasil Maior Plan.
