Although "brevet" stands for "a patent", the term in the context regards - a title of invention (though "invention" does not appear in the phrase). "Patent" here has rather jargon meaning (sometimes acceptable in the patent offices' practice).
I thus strongly believe, the correct answer has been given by

Please refer to the WIPO Handbook in the context (ST. 9):
http://www.wipo.int/export/sites/www/standards/en/pdf/03-09-... Take a look at so called "INID code" - "(54)"; page - 6.
In fact, a "patent" is one of the IP rights/is a kind of decision.
