Workshop on Patent and Fast Track
16-10-2024 - 16-10-2024

The discussion addressed important aspects of this mechanism, such as: analysis of official data regarding the use of the Fast Track system; objectives of the fast-track system; definition of sustainable economy and green technologies, as well as eligibility criteria; current legal design of the Fast Track patent system in Brazil and Chile; and activities of government agents and their potential assistants involved in the patent recognition process. Regarding users’ adherence to the system, it addressed: benefits and burdens (cost, duration, choice of use and guarantee of legal security); variables that lead users to choose or not to use the system (involvement of third parties in the patent application process and market secrets and strategies). Furthermore, the discussions were guided by the objective of verifying if the Patent Fast Track has been an effective instrument in promoting sustainable technologies, analyzing which factors influence this instrument to achieve or not this objective. In a next stage, and based on the results of this workshop, will be discussed the feasibility of a line of research on fast-track, with the following objectives: 1) to analyse whether this system could be suitable for other Latin American countries and 2) to check whether this system could have an impact on sustainable innovation.
