In this paper, the author analyzes the benefits and limitationsof international arbitration in disputes that are subject to intellectual propertyrights. Intellectual property law disputes have special characteristics. In theevent of a dispute with an international element, there is a problem with thejurisdiction of state courts due to the principle of the territoriality of intellectualproperty rights. The titular of the right must initiate court proceedings in allcountries individually, leading to delays in procedures, multiplication of costsand uneven judicial practice. For these reasons, the author analyzes alternativedispute resolution through arbitration to determine whether this method ofdispute resolution is more acceptable to foreign courts.The author particularly pays attention to the WIPO Center for Arbitrationand Mediation as a permanent arbitration institution whose primary activity isthe resolution of disputes in the field of intellectual property rights.

AbstractHaving huge power grids successfully integrate sustainable energy sources requires a smart and flexible power grid management system. Such smart systems have to adapt fast and accurately to a great amount of data input – a task which is made easier by applying modern machine learning technology. Solutions crafted by dynamic and powerful computing algorithms have the potential to surpass human cognitive capabilities. The question arises whether and how intellectual property law can be used to set the right incentives. This paper initially describes the basic functions of smart grids and the corresponding necessity of machine learning. Subsequently, it will analyze the current approaches of the most relevant patent offices in dealing with the challenges of AI-related smart grid inventions. Ultimately, it will be demonstrated that the contemporary discussions fail to focus on practical considerations of market entry possibilities that might be more promising than the approach of creating new exclusionary intellectual property rights.

The recent rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines offers hope in addressing the worst pandemic in a hundred years. However, many countries in the Global South face great difficulties in accessing vaccines, partly because of restrictive intellectual property law. These laws exacerbate both global and domestic inequalities and prevent countries from fully realising the right to health for all their people. Commodification of essential medicines, such as vaccines, pushes poorer countries into extreme debt and reproduces national inequalities that discriminate against marginalised groups. This article explains how a decolonial framing of human rights and public health could contribute to addressing this systemic injustice. We envisage a human rights and global health law framework based on solidarity and international cooperation that focuses funding on long-term goals and frees access to medicines from the restrictions of intellectual property law. This would increase domestic vaccine production, acquisition and distribution capabilities in the Global South.

RESUMO: O trabalho objetivou investigar o entendimento de alguns autores quanto ao assunto, além de estudar o que são os direitos fundamentais ligados aos direitos da personalidade e direito à imagem e o que as doutrinas hodiernas falam sobre considerar direitos da personalidade direitos fundamentais, no âmbito do Direito Civil e no Direito da Propriedade Intelectual. Muito se tem discutido se o Direito à Imagem e de personalidade estariam no campo de proteção do Direito Civil ou no Direito da Propriedade Intelectual, com base no que dispõe o caput do art. 24 da Lei de Direitos Autorais que dispõe sobre a proteção aos direitos morais do autor, inclusive o de se manter no anonimato, através das obras pseudônimas ou de não ver publicado certas obras por este escritas, mantendo-as inéditas ou escritas por outras pessoas, mas que digam respeito a sua pessoa. O STF em decisão unânime declarou inexigível o consentimento de pessoa biografada relativamente a obras biográficas literárias ou audiovisuais. A problemática residiu na possibilidade da existência desses direitos e na possibilidade da tutela transversal, onde o uso não autorizado de imagem encontra limitações firmadas pela doutrina e jurisprudência, como a exploração econômica da vítima que teve suas obras expostas na mídia sem autorização e, a depender do conteúdo, a denegrição da imagem. Concluiu-se que os direitos supramencionados são frutos de uma evolução jurídica em que os sistemas jurídicos contemporâneos se constituem com o dos Direitos estudados. Para tanto se utilizou do método de revisão bibliográfica qualitativa de abordagem dedutiva.PALAVRAS CHAVE: Direitos autorais, Direitos morais do autor, Responsabilidade civil. Right to Image and the Right to Personality: a parallel between Civil Law and Intellectual Property Law ABSTRACT: This work aims to investigate the understanding of some authors on the subject, as well as to study what are the fundamental rights related to personality rights and the right to image and what current doctrines speak about considering rights of personality fundamental rights in the scope of Law Civil and Intellectual Property Law. Much has been debated whether the Right to Image and personality would be in the field of protection of Civil Law or Intellectual Property Law, based on what the caput of art. 24 of the Copyright Law that provides for the protection of the author's moral rights, including to remain anonymous, through pseudonymous works or not to see published works by this writing, keeping them unpublished or written by other people, but which concern your person. The STF in a unanimous decision declared the consent of a person biographical in relation to biographical literary or audiovisual works unenforceable. The problem lies in the possibility of the existence of these rights and in the possibility of transverse protection, where the unauthorized use of image has limitations established by the doctrine and jurisprudence, such as the economic exploitation of the victim who had his works exposed in the media without authorization and depending of content, denigrating the image. It is concluded that the above rights are the result of a legal evolution in which the contemporary legal systems are constituted with the rights studied. For this purpose, the method of qualitative bibliographical review of the deductive approach will be used.KEYWORDS: Copyright, Author's moral rights, Civil liability.
