Brazil's courts have seen an uptick in patent litigation due to economic growth, as businesses increasingly seek to protect intellectual property rights in the region.
The STJ's recent ruling permits invalidity defenses in industrial design lawsuits, potentially impacting patent cases and sparking discussions about enhancing intellectual property cooperation across courts.
This ruling was influential not only for industrial design but also set a precedent for patent litigation, hinting at a broader application in future cases.
The working group’s discussions, which involve various stakeholders, aim to bridge gaps between infringement and invalidity disputes, improving Brazil's patent enforcement landscape.
