Legislation
Brazil is a signatory of the TRIPS agreement. This does not carry any requirements about software being patentable, but it defines some words that can be confusing. To avoid the confusing terms, legislation should describe software as being a work by an author (see TRIPS art. 10), and avoid saying that software is a field of technology. Software does not meet the legal definition of "technology".
