The ABPI International Congress returns to the city of São Paulo for its 45th edition, which will take place from August 17 to 19, 2025. Since the first event, more than 20 editions have been held in São Paulo, and we are pleased to return to the city.
This Congress stands out as a unique platform for sharing knowledge, fostering interdisciplinary discussions, and building strategic partnerships. Its primary objective is to strengthen the protection of intellectual property both in Brazil and internationally. Beyond the technical debates, the event offers an excellent opportunity for IP professionals to gather, discuss innovations and challenges, and exchange experiences with peers from around the world.
Collaboration in the Intelligent Age
The theme of the 2025 ABPI Congress, “Collaboration in the Intelligent Age”, aligns with the 2025 World Economic Forum’s theme: “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age”. This synergy underscores ABPI’s commitment to addressing emerging and relevant topics. By focusing on collaboration, the Congress highlights the importance of joint efforts among various sectors of society to tackle the challenges and seize the opportunities presented by Artificial Intelligence and other disruptive innovations.
Key topics for discussion at the 45th ABPI International Congress include:
The intersection of artificial intelligence, innovation, and IP, and how legislation can keep pace with technological advances.
The influence of new technologies on the creation, protection, and dissemination of knowledge and intellectual property.
Collaborative efforts among governments, businesses, universities, and other institutions to foster a regulatory environment that supports innovation.
Leveraging technologies to promote inclusion and sustainable development while safeguarding intellectual property rights.
As always, the ABPI Congress offers a strategic forum for exploring how IP can shape this new era, balancing innovation, rights protection, and societal progress.
YOUNG IP PROFESSIONALS DAY
A new highlight of the 2025 Congress will be an entire afternoon dedicated to young IP professionals—an invaluable opportunity for networking and learning, essential for those looking to establish themselves in the field.
Educating young professionals on the complexities of intellectual property, particularly in areas related to innovation and creative rights, is crucial for the sector’s advancement and the development of future leaders.
Young IP Professionals Day, an initiative of ABPI’s Young Professionals Committee, aims to provide essential intellectual property knowledge and establish a strong foundation for career development. Law students, recent graduates, and IP professionals up to 35 years of age are welcome to participate.
The event will feature a keynote speaker and interactive workshops, offering a unique space to exchange experiences, gain insights, and connect with seasoned professionals in the intellectual property market.
