Standard-Essential Patent (SEP) Litigation in Brazil

Our firm has established a strong reputation in handling complex SEP disputes at Brazilian courts being listed as one the top firms in major IP litigation international rankings. We combine deep technical expertise with extensive experience in IP litigation to represent clients in the country’s most relevant SEP cases involving telecommunications, ICT, consumer electronics, and automotive technologies.

Our SEP litigation practice covers every stage of the dispute, from validity and essentiality analyses to enforcement, defense, and FRAND-related proceedings before the Brazilian courts and administrative bodies with high success rates. We are one of the few firms in Brazil with consistent experience, ensuring successful decisions in most of cases we are acting.

Among the SEP cases handled so far, we successfully revoked preliminary injunctions, obtained favorable trial court decisions, and secured favorable appellate court rulings. These results reflect our high success rate and consistent performance in a jurisdiction that has been developing a balanced and sophisticated approach to SEP enforcement.

We are one of the few firms in Brazil with continuous involvement in high-profile SEP disputes, combining deep technical insight, procedural expertise, and strategic coordination with global counsel to deliver effective, business-oriented outcomes.

Our team is familiar with the interplay between patent law, competition law, and regulatory aspects, providing pragmatic advice that anticipates potential challenges related to FRAND commitments and enforcement.

Our approach integrates technical depth, legal precision, and commercial insight. We routinely assist clients in:

 Representing in SEP infringement and invalidity actions before Brazilian courts;

  1. Conducting essentiality and validity analyses of telecommunications and ICT patents;
  2. Advising on FRAND negotiation and compliance strategies;
  3. Supporting litigation and licensing programs with local procedural expertise;
  4. Managing complex multi-party disputes involving SEPs and standard-setting organizations.

 With a solid understanding of both the Brazilian IP system and the global SEP landscape, our team delivers strategic, litigation-ready solutions designed to protect innovation and support sustainable licensing frameworks.
