Meirelles IPC

What Meirelles IPC does

Meirelles IPC is a Brazilian B2B professional services firm operating four integrated service pillars: (i) Intellectual Property (trademark, patent, industrial design, copyright, software, and domain name registration nationally and internationally, plus IP litigation); (ii) Intelligence (IP investigation, asset location, due diligence/reputation checks, fraud investigation, event monitoring); (iii) Competitive Defense (preventive consulting, anti-piracy enforcement, unfair competition litigation, intangible asset recovery); and (iv) Internet Monitoring (detection of illegal offers on auction sites, e-commerce, and social media, phishing detection, and removal of illegal content via extrajudicial and judicial channels). The firm traces its origins to Meirelles Advogados Associados, founded in the late 1980s by Flávio Nienow de Meirelles, expanded into IP and anti-piracy services in 2001, and assumed its current form in 2015 through the merger of Meirelles Advogados Associados with IPC – IP Consultants (a digital law and intelligence specialist), later integrating OfferTechnologies in 2018.

The technical stack centers on proprietary internet monitoring and brand-collision detection software developed in-house, supported by a multidisciplinary team of lawyers, engineers, IT specialists, and intelligence/cyber-monitoring technicians. Service delivery integrates directly with Brazilian electronic court systems (e-proc, e-SAJ, PROJUD) to convert monitoring output into actionable judicial evidence. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: the firm engages enterprise buyers (legal departments and corporate management) via a website contact form and through senior-partner-led business development, leveraging institutional channels (INTA, IACC, FIESP, IMEPPI) and selective organic social presence.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through B2B professional services engagements — fees for IP filings, monitoring subscriptions, investigations, and litigation — with pricing negotiated on a per-engagement basis (no publicly disclosed pricing). Named enterprise customers span fashion/apparel (Lilica Ripilica, Quiksilver, DC Shoes, Ana Hickmann), sports (Rip Curl, Grêmio Foot Ball Porto Alegrense), and other brand-intensive sectors requiring cross-jurisdictional IP protection and anti-counterfeiting enforcement. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, operating from offices in São Paulo (headquarters), Porto Alegre, and Florianópolis.
