I agree, but I'm not sure about the "lease" from the legal POW. The legal nature is still obscure in Brazil (intellectual property? cession/right of use?), with some push to the trademarks from corporate lawyers and IP agents.

This has been a question that has bobbled back and forth in lawsuits and articles, opinion letters submitted by attorneys and personal/corporate interests.
