Course 1 – From Invention to Protection: Technological Prospecting, Industrial Property and Patents

Title: From Invention to Protection: Technological Prospecting, Industrial Property and Patents

Speaker: Dr. Sérgio Bernardo (Industrial Property Researcher – INPI/Brazil)

Hours: 8 hours

Date: August 22 and 23, 2022 (1:00 pm to 5:00 pm)

Course program: Present an approach about different means of protecting intellectual property assets, with a focus on industrial property (more precisely on invention patents). Through a simple and objective construction, the trajectory covered by an invention will be traced, from its conception to the filing of the patent application, presenting the legal and technical aspects that govern the patent system in Brazil. Concepts such as the state of the art, the economic role of patents, matters excluded from patent protection in Brazil, the Brazilian patent system, how to write a patent document and technological prospecting in patent databases will be addressed through examples of patents in the areas of cosmetics, food and biotechnology, in order to establish the concepts presented in the course.
