I’m thrilled to share my latest article, titled “Concerns when licensing or litigating standard essential patents in Brazil considering wipo’s 2024-2026 strategy” - published on Lexology. I truly hope that it can be useful and engaging. #SEP #patents #lawsuit #Wipo #FRAND

This article, published on Lexology, Gabriel Siqueira explains WIPO's (World Intellectual Property Organization) recent strategy (2024-2026) for handling Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) to support fair licensing and cooperation globally. WIPO aims to help jurisdictions manage SEP-related issues neutrally, promote FRAND (Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory) licensing, improve dispute resolution, and ensure patent quality. In Brazil, SEP lawsuits are increasing, and courts are becoming more aware of the importance of FRAND principles and transparency. WIPO's strategy seeks to support global discussions, assist with SEP licensing, and guide less experienced markets in handling SEP-related disputes.

🎉💡 I am excited to share with you this upcoming event focusing on patent protection, with an opportunity for enhanced engagement for those with a particular interest in IP in India. Register your interest here: https://lnkd.in/eiKhaQ9S 💡🎉  

We have just published our first ever strategy relating to Standard Essential Patents (SEPs), a complex and often misunderstood area of intellectual property (IP). This strategy rests on four pillars: 1- WIPO as a forum for discussion 2- WIPO as a source of knowledge and data 3- WIPO as a venue for amicable agreement 4- WIPO as a provider of services The activities foreseen under the strategy will enhance transparency, contribute to the discussion around SEPs, and aim at improving the quality of patents as well. WIPO seeks to facilitate transactions relating to SEPs in a way that does not preempt but instead complements the policies of different jurisdictions. This is an important step in addressing the management and licensing of SEPs, which raises significant questions at the intersection of patent law and competition law. We are looking forward to implementing this strategy and engaging in discussions and facilitating transactions relating to SEPs.

So, perhaps two thirds of the Australian IP patent firm market is controlled by two IP holding firms: (i) IPH; and (ii) Qantm. IPH is the mother ship for Spruson & Ferguson and Griffiths Hack. Qantm is the mother ship for DCC and FPA. The remaining third of the Australian market is in the hands of "independents" notably POF and FB Rice. MIP recently posted an article with the implication that Corporates were veering away from Australian patent firms where the mother ship was listed on the ASX. I find that hard to believe. But, it does seem to me that Australian patent attorneys are not as tightly regulated as UK/EP patent attorneys. But equally, if your parent company is listed on the ASX then this brings with it a whole new dimension re: disclosure and transparency which "independent" patent firms do not need to provide. I have great respect for both IPH and the independents (POF/FB Rice). Personally, I think they're both providing exceptional service to their clients. As I see things: (1) The Australian/NZ regulator is relatively weak; (2) If your parent company is listed on ASX then your corporate governance is superb; and (3) Australia is the perfect location for servicing China.
