Standard Essential Patents and FRAND Licensing

Featured by Maria Eduarda Junqueira and Pablo Torquato

In this video, our partners Maria Eduarda Junqueira and Pablo Torquato explore the growing relevance of industrial property in collaborative innovation environments.

In recent years, Brazil has witnessed a rise in patent litigation involving Standard Essential Patents (SEPs), especially in the Rio de Janeiro courts. These cases often involve not only patent holders and non-practicing entities (NPEs), but also companies that both hold and implement essential patents. Open innovation thrives on collaboration between companies and research institutions, driving technological breakthroughs that meet complex market demands.

At Montaury Pimenta, Machado e Vieira de Mello, we bring deep expertise in SEPs and FRAND licensing—areas known for their high technical and legal complexity, often at the heart of major legal disputes.
