On October 1st, the Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (BPTO) held the “IP and Regulation” seminar at the headquarters of the Brazilian Bar Association – Rio de Janeiro Section (OAB/RJ). The event focused on the regulatory legitimacy of BPTO’s activities and the challenges involved in improving public policies related to Industrial Property in Brazil.

Discussions highlighted BPTO’s regulatory role within Brazil’s Industrial Property system, emphasizing predictability, transparency, and efficiency in administrative decisions. Topics included regulatory impact assessment, policy evaluation, and regulatory frameworks applied to IP, as well as the need to align IP regulation with innovation and market dynamics.

The initiative reflects Brazil’s broader efforts to develop a more structured and data-informed regulatory approach to Intellectual Property, strengthening the connection between public policy, legal practice, and innovation management.

Recordings of all discussion panels are available on the BPTO YouTube channel.
