Brazil Patent Landscape

$50.00
  • Instructor(s):  BCLT & RNA Law

Tuesday, April 20, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. | B-CLE WebcastPresented with RNA Law 0.50 General CLE Credit Offered Program Info | Resource(s) | Speaker Bio(s) & Contact Info Brazil's IP and patent litigation scene is no longer something companies can afford to overlook — and this session will show you exactly why. Join Rob Rodriguez of RNA Law, a Stanford Law LLM and lead editor of the Stanford Technology Law Review, as he delivers an insider's guide to patent enforcement, preliminary injunctions, and the evolving IP ecosystem in Brazil, presented through UC Berkeley's Center for Law & Technology. With decades of experience practicing on both sides of the Pacific, Rob breaks down the key strategic differences between litigating in Brazil and the U.S. — from the absence of discovery and jury trials to the outsized role of court-appointed technical experts. Whether you're just starting to engage with the Brazilian market or looking to sharpen your existing strategy, this is the session that will change how you think about global IP. Who is this program good for? IP attorneys, in-house counsel, patent practitioners, and business leaders with interests in Latin American markets or global patent strategy. Key Takeaways:   Preliminary injunctions are a powerful tool in Brazil — unlike in the U.S., they are explicitly established in Brazilian patent law, making enforcement faster and more aggressive, and creating significant pressure on defendants. Brazil's patent landscape is booming — standard essential patent filings have grown from 1–2 cases a decade ago to over 50 in a single year, with major players like Netflix, Amazon, and global NPEs now active in Brazilian courts. AI examination guidelines are reshaping patent prosecution — Brazil's patent office is actively aligning with global standards on AI-related inventions, creating new opportunities and challenges for technology companies filing patents in the region.

IP and Human Creativity in the AI Age: A Global ConversationFriday, November 14, 2025Presented by Asia IP & Competition Law CenterCo-Hosted by Robbins Collection Research Center & UC Berkeley Korea Law Center Event Info | Agenda | Resources | Speaker Biographies Keynote SpeakersDaren Tang, WIPO This conference—sharing the same title as our Berkeley course, IP and Human Creativity in the AI Age, launched in 2023—brings together leading scholars, practitioners, and judges from the United States, China (including mainland and Hong Kong), Japan, Korea, Singapore, Germany, the United Kingdom, and beyond to explore how intellectual property law should respond to the paradigm-shifting challenges of artificial intelligence. What distinguishes this gathering is its human-creativity-centered lens: we will ask not only how AI challenges existing doctrines—such as inventorship, nonobviousness, disclosure, authorship, and fair use—but also how IP can be recalibrated to ensure that this **formidable machine—an unprecedentedly powerful double-edged sword, with equally profound potential to enhance or to displace human creativity—**is ultimately deployed in ways that strengthen, rather than undermine, the human creative spirit. Hopefully, this conference can also offer a window into the convergence (or divergence) of common-law and civil-law traditions in addressing historical technological shifts, drawing inspiration from both comparative law and classroom dialogue. In this way, the event continues the intellectual journey begun with our Berkeley course in 2023, while fostering global conversations that cross disciplines, jurisdictions, and legal traditions.

The Impact of Prosecution Length on Patent Litigation Outcomes

$115.00
  • Instructor(s):  BCLT & Baker Botts

Tuesday, January 6, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. (PT) | B-CLEPresented by Baker Botts Program Information | Resources Join BCLT as Matthew Avery (Partner, Baker Botts) moderates a discussion with Megan White (Partner, Baker Botts), Keith Jurek (Sr. Patent Counsel, GRAIL, Inc.), and Daisy Yau (Sr. Patent Counsel, Oracle). Together, they will explore findings from a recent comprehensive study that examined correlations between the thoroughness of examination by the USPTO and subsequent patent litigation outcomes. Analyzing over 89,000 patents litigated since March 2000, the study assessed how the number of rejections a patent receives affects its likelihood of invalidity, infringement, and unenforceability in court. The surprising results from this research may offer strategies for patent owners to refine their prosecution and litigation practices.
