The wide diffusion of the importance of the Intellectual Property rights in Paraguay in the last few years have allowed the Trademark and Patent Office to acquires a more active and participatory role with the organization and support of numerous seminars, discussions and events regarding this subject.

In the Intellectual Property Day the Government has opened new Offices, providing more comfort and facility to the users, whether they are intellectual property agents or the general public.

That day they took the opportunity to promote one of the local source patents that has been granted by the authorities to a Paraguayan company. The new granted patent relates to the creation of an alternative energy, using inorganic recycled residues, such as tires and containers of different products, including chemicals. These residues, according to the current patent can be treated and turned into eco fuel, gas and even coal.

This demonstrates without a doubt that Paraguay is growing in all areas, and that the appropriate protection of inventions and innovations can be helpful to increase the national economy.
