29 – Bolar exemption (art.43, section VII of the LPI): finalistic and temporal limits
By Eduardo Riess
The bolar exception arose in order to allow the prompt entrance into the market of alternatives to patented products (after the expiration of the respective patents) that depend on sanitary approval to be commercialized, enabling unauthorized third parties to make use of the patented technology (still in force) with the sole purpose of producing experimental information and data aiming at obtaining this commercial approval. Like any exception rule, however, its applicability depends on a narrow observance of the elements inserted within its provision (art. 43, Section VII of Law n. 9,279/96), and it is precisely in this sense that this article proposes a brief reflection: What would these – finalistic and temporal – existential conditions of the rule be? And in practical terms, how do they materialize?
Keywords: Industrial Property. Patents. Bolar Exception.

By Jacques Labrunie e Marcos Chucralla Moherdaui Blasi
The so-called “backlog”, understood as the stock of patent applications pending on analysis by patent offices, is a global concern and, in Brazil, has acquired the status of a chronic problem. Resolutions 240 and 241, issued on July 3, 2019, inaugurated a consistent and audacious plan in its goals in order to face the challenging scenario and did not escape administrative and judicial questioning. The purpose of this article is to examine the legal grounds of the program (particularly focused on Resolution 241) under the Brazilian Federal Constitution and national legislation as well as of the treaties that rule the subject matter.
Keywords: Backlog. Combat Plan. Legal Grounds. Brazilian Industrial Property Law. CUP. TRIPS. PCT
