IDS was delighted to welcome several congress participants to its stand, who had the opportunity to learn about the institute’s work and its projects, which include: publications; webinars; seminars; lectures; classes; courses, among countless other activities aimed at disseminating intellectual property (IP) education in the country.

The Congress also featured lectures by STF Justice Luís Roberto Barroso and Reinaldo Bulgarelli, executive secretary of the LGBTI+ Business and Rights Forum.

The final debate of the event was on the IP of the future and the closing panel was made up of the director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the executive director of the World Intellectual Property Organization, the CEO of the International Trademark Association, the president of ABPI and Dannemann Siemsen partner Luiz Henrique do Amaral.
