Remer Villaça & Nogueira

What Remer Villaça & Nogueira does

Remer Villaça & Nogueira (RVN) is a privately held Brazilian consultancy, founded circa 2000 and headquartered in São Paulo with a second office in Rio de Janeiro. The firm specializes in intellectual property strategy and intangible asset management, serving clients that face creation, technological development, and innovation — particularly companies in healthcare, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and corporate enterprises. Services span the full IP lifecycle, from R&D support and patent engineering through portfolio management, competitive intelligence, technology transfer, negotiation support, and patent litigation (delivered through its affiliated law firm Villaça & Nogueira).

The firm's core technical assets are three registered proprietary methodologies — INVENTÔMETRO® (patent engineering tool for development engineering and design), INTANGINEERING® (integrated approach combining technological, administrative, legal and business services for value creation from intangibles), and PATENT INTELLIGENCE FOR INNOVATION™ (IP-based competitive intelligence including technological mapping, market clearance, freedom-to-operate, and validity opinions). It operates an integrated three-entity structure: the RVN consultancy itself, sister consultancy Remer Consultores, and sister law firm Villaça & Nogueira. The team is multidisciplinary by design, combining industrial property agents, attorneys, and credentialed scientists and engineers across organic chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, bioinformatics, chemical/electrical/mechanical/materials engineering and pharmaceuticals.

RVN operates a sales-led, B2B professional services model targeting enterprise clients in Brazil. Revenue is generated through tailored, project-based engagements — typically multi-year contracts — priced by scope and complexity, with no public pricing disclosed. The firm does not run a self-service or marketplace channel; client acquisition depends on professional networks, referrals, partner academic affiliations (Harvard, MIT, WIPO Academy, FGV), active roles in IP associations (INTA, ASPI, ABPI, JALP), and thought-leadership activities including the RVN Journal of Law and Innovation, university lectures, and conference participation. The firm is founder-owned and managed with no external private equity or venture capital involvement disclosed.
