The Life Sciences department stands as a beacon of excellence in the Brazilian IP landscape. Renowned globally, we are the preferred choice for both international and domestic clients navigating the complexities of intellectual property to protect and expand their portfolios.
Guided by the visionary leadership of esteemed partners Eduardo Hallak, Ricardo Campello, and Otto Licks, our team combines unparalleled expertise and creativity. These global figures are celebrated for their deep industry knowledge and exceptional track records. Complementing this leadership is Appellate Judge (ret.) Liliane Roriz, whose extensive experience in the 2nd Specialized IP Panel at TRF2 and landmark rulings in key Brazilian IP cases bring unique depth to our practice.
With professionals such as Rafaella Oliveira and Denise Golgher, who exemplify our commitment to excellence, we consistently deliver innovative solutions supported by groundbreaking research from industry leaders.
Licks Attorneys holds a unique position at the intersection of IP, regulation, and health. This is particularly evident in our representation of patent holders in compulsory licensing cases, including those involving Covid-19 treatments, where we successfully represented all current patent holders in Brazil.
