IP and business: how patents competition, technology and finance merge
Abstract: Innovation and entrepreneurship are key elements in maintaining and even increasing competitiveness particularly in
scenarios of economic instability. But how to ensure that the results of innovation processes and the protection of their intellectual property are in fact included in the strategic planning of institutions and companies? Business representatives and an expert in the economic area will discuss the key issues and challenges related to the identification and application of IP assets in business process management.

PLENARY II
IP insertion in the current political and economic international configuration
Abstract: The current international IP system, based on the WTO that by means of the TRIPS Agreement created an international
trade relationship on IP, is undergoing a weakening moment of multilateralism. We can already envisage, notably in the North American political context, a movement towards international bilateralism in which IP has gone from aspect to cornerstone. In this context, promoting the development in the field of IP and strengthening international relations by achieving common goals throughout the international community beyond the WTO becomes increasingly relevant not only to remunerate authors, inventors and other IP rights holders, but to foster the global economy, which is increasingly based on the trade of intangible assets.

Abstract: Brazil and the World have been facing economic, political and social changes with a huge impact in our day-to-day lives. A wellestablished institution today may be old news tomorrow. A surprising exit of Britain from the European Union; the announcement by the

PANEL 3
New perspectives of IP in the art market: copyright and contemporary art
Abstract: Contemporary art has brought new meanings to the concepts of authorship, work and originality, imposing important
challenges for intellectual property professionals. Artists make use of appropriations, borrowings, and quotations for the making of their works; Request the participation of the public or delegate the execution of the work. These creative processes, already incorporated in the history of art, are still misunderstood by the traditional discourse concerning copyrights. Therefore, legal issues arise, such as in the case of graffiti or spray-painting. Is it possible to protect, by copyright, a work that is the product of a conduct which is classified as a crime? How to obtain the authorization to reproduce the work if the authorship is anonymous? In the midst of this scenario new perspectives arise in the legal area for the advising of artists, collectors, publishers, galleries, museums and heirs.

Non traditional trademarks: questions relating to the protection of three-dimensional marks in the 3D printing era
Abstract: With the eminent popularization of 3D printer technology, which is gradually reaching the general public, a “revolution” is
expected in our means of consumption. We shall no longer be passive consumers and start creating, and even “editing”, some of the products we use. At the same time, this technology, when applied incorrectly, may allow the unauthorized reproduction of toys, spare parts and even goods subject to protection through industrial design or other forms of intellectual property. This panel intends to discuss the ethical and legal issues of 3D printing, and how the ease of producing, modelling and sharing “objects” will be equalized with the necessary protection of intellectual property rights.

Industrial Designs: Where we are and Where we are going in Relation to its Protection and the Production of Spare Parts in the Automobile Industry
Abstract: Although the Industrial Property Law does not prohibit the protection of automotive spare parts through industrial design registrations, provided they are intended to protect spare parts aesthetic aspect, there is an understanding in CADE

future scenario of protection of spare parts through industrial design registrations.

IP and vertical restraints on competition in online platforms
Abstract: The Internet and new technologies have changed the legal and social dynamics in a global way, and one of the areas that has
been deeply affected is Intellectual Property. Indeed, large Internet companies have a robust portfolio of intangible assets and do not hesitate to maintain their margin in the virtual market through new acquisitions of assets of this nature. How is the competition structured and what are its restrictions when it is held in a predominantly virtual environment, with consequences for consumers and for the market? How to deal with the limits of competition involving intellectual property rights and the rules regarding competition and the performance of regulatory
agencies? These are the questions that will guide the panel and the debates to be held.
