Patents
The word for patent is "Patente".
The current Portuguese patent office is the Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial, that is, the National Industrial Property Institute (Portugal), situated in Lisbon. It was formed on 28 July 1976 under the auspices of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and was intended to be more effective and efficient than the preceding “Industrial Property Agency”.
Pedro Almeida Leitão advised econterms at the Porto 2023 conference that the Boletim da Propriedade Industrial has summaries of patents. It was an annual starting 1895 going through the early aero period; at least 1920. He uses trademark informtaon from this publication, but not patents. The law creating the patent system dates from about 1888-93, he indicates; econterms missed the details and cannot yet find them online. With preparation time for them to get it from the stacks, one can get issues of it at the Biblioteca Municipal de Porto at Jardim de Sao Lazaro, near metro 24 Agosto in Porto. Econterms tried but was not able to clear out the full day to get access; if returning, write to [email protected] first to ask that issues of the Boletim be brought from the stacks. However the library per se is lovely and historic and faded/aged; worth seeing itself and there are reference works available. We might write Pedro again. At that library econterms tried to get specifics about aero pioneer João Gouveia but didn't get much.
