Agenda IDS – “Key topics on compulsory patent licenses: BRICS perspective”

The Dannemann Siemsen Institute (IDS) invites experts to discuss key issues related to compulsory patent licensing from a BRICS perspective, with a particular focus on Brazil, India, and China.

Join us for a strategic conversation on how these economies implement the compulsory patent licensing flexibilities provided under the TRIPS Agreement and incorporated into their national IP laws—particularly in the context of pharmaceutical patents. The discussion will address the challenges these countries face in balancing public interest, innovation, industrial policy, and international commitments.

Ana Claudia Mamede Carneiro, partner at Dannemann Siemsen and member of the IDS Advisory Board, will share insights from the Brazilian perspective and moderate the roundtable discussion featuring three experts on the topic:

• Ms. Mamta Rani Jha will present the Indian approach to patent compulsory licensing.
• Dr. Ning JIANG and Mr. Butian MA will explore how the topic is addressed within the Chinese legal framework.
