Intellectual Property (IP) News from Brazil – August, 2022

Dear Sir/Madam,

We would like to keep you informed of what is going on in Brazil and abroad in terms of Innovation, Intellectual Property,
Technology Transfer and related matters. As part of our dedication to helping our clients stay up-to-date on the ever-changing
landscape as it relates to Intellectual Property (IP), we’ve compiled the following highlights of changes to patent, trademark, and
copyright operations around the world.
The following are a few recent updates identified in the present month.

Update Highlights

• A new way of understanding the high but elusive worth of intellectual property. A group of 65 people have each achieved

• Senators Leahy And Cornyn Lead Letter Asking USPTO To Address Anti-Competitive Patent Thickets. Drug companies
  artificially extend the period in which they can charge high prices by filing many patents on nearly the same invention

• What If All IP Rights Lasted Forever? In the modern era of IP – i.e., the last 150 years or so – it has always been a given
  that patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, design rights and all other IP rights can or will expire.  https://t.co/3caed9Tgdv

• Don’t Let Your Core Brands Fall Victim to Trademark Trolls. Similar to its patent and copyright-focused counterparts,
  “trademark troll” is a negative moniker that refers to people who register for a trademark in bad faith https://t.co/hCHkKDhIyW

• Inventors Must Be Human, Federal Circuit Rules in Blow to AI. Computer scientist Stephen Thaler was dealt another blow
  in his battle for AI machines to be recognized as inventors on patents, after the FCR patent court found that inventors must
