At IPWatchdog LIVE 2025, experts discussed global trends in intellectual property laws, emphasizing shifts observed in patent systems across various countries. Notably, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's International IP Index highlighted improvements in IP regimes, particularly in emerging markets like South Africa, Brazil, and Nigeria. Despite the advancements, prominent economies like the U.S. and U.K. have shown little improvement. Brazil's patent office faces challenges that hinder smaller inventors, indicating the need for further reforms to encourage innovation and accessibility in the region.
"The real surprises came from emerging markets adopting targeted policies to strengthen their IP regimes." - Alaina van Horn
