The Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) has taken an important step toward the future of innovation in Brazil! A Public Consultation has been launched to discuss and define the Guidelines for the Examination of Patent Applications involving Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies.
The goal is clear: to establish transparent criteria regarding what can be patented in this ever-evolving field. This initiative, based on INPI/DIRPA Ordinance No. 16/2024, seeks to provide greater legal certainty for inventors, companies, and the entire technology ecosystem.
What does this mean in practice? The new guidelines will guide the examination of inventions using AI, setting out the boundaries and possibilities for patent protection. This is a unique opportunity for the legal and innovation communities to contribute to building a modern and effective regulatory framework.
Your input is essential to shaping the future of intellectual property in Brazil!
