Priscila de Melo, 42 years old, discovered this Monday that someone else had fraudulently registered the "Super Alvinho" brand with the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), which is the name of a game created by her son Adriano Álvaro Melo, 10 years old, and by which the boy came to be known. The mother already has a suspicion about who may have committed the fraud, but prefers to investigate before revealing.
Councilwoman Thaís Ferreira, from PSOL, who has been providing support to the family, had asked a trademark specialist, a friend of hers, to register the brand. It was this professional who discovered that someone else had already made the registration fraudulently. In addition to the councilwoman, a director from Mensa Brasil also committed to helping recover the brand, since the organization would have faced a similar process in the past.
Mensa Brasil is a nonprofit association for people with high IQ, known as the "international genius club." Priscila is now seeking ways to legally recover the "Super Alvinho" brand and has the support of both the councilwoman and the organization.
