Webinar: ADI 5529 – Impacts on Innovation: the vision of BPTO and Industry Sectors

The Supreme Court is about to manifest itself in an extremely relevant matter in Intellectual Property: the merit analysis of ADI 5529, which deals with the constitutionality, or not, of Article 40, sole paragraph, of the Industrial Property Law – LPI nº 9.279 / 96). The device is highly relevant from a political-economic point of view. It represents a guarantee to inventors in the face of the so-called backlog and possible delays in patent application processing.

The objective is to disseminate the view of different industry sectors on the importance of this legal provision. What are the consequences of an eventual deletion of the article for the Brazilian industry and the leading national and foreign stakeholders? To what extent will the country’s strategic research and development (R & D) area, with extensive universities’ participation, be impacted by this decision? These and other issues will be addressed in this Webinar, which will involve market and industry representatives’ participation in analyzing the impacts and consequences of the Supreme Court decision.
