IP eLearning University Consortium - Brazil

Advancing National IP education and academic cooperation

Overview

The WIPO Academy IP eLearning University Consortium Brazil is a joint initiative of the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Academy. It brings together higher education institutions in Brazil to integrate customized intellectual property (IP) education into the national academic system.
Through this collaboration, participating institutions receive access to customized WIPO - certified IP eLearning courses. Customized courses are in Portuguese and adapted to Brazilian legislative framework, practices, and educational standards. They integrate into undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional programs.
By joining the Consortium, institutions access locally customized IP content without developing their own curricula. Membership also strengthens institutional reputation through collaboration with WIPO and INPI. It connects institutions to a national network advancing IP education.

Success Stories

Prof. Dr. Helena Carasek
“Being a member of the WIPO IPeLearning University consortium represents a strategic opportunity to access the most comprehensive knowledge base on Intellectual Property (IP). The course content has proven to be fundamental not only for enhancing the management of the institution’s IP assets, but also for strengthening the training of its staff and for broadening the dissemination of the Intellectual Property culture, both within the university and in cooperation with other institutions and companies.”
Prof. Dr. Helena Carasek, Pro-Rector of Innovation at Federal University of Goiás (UFG)
Prof. Vinicius Farias Campos
“This is a unique opportunity to expand access to specialized information resources that are essential for enhancing research, advancing innovation, and strengthening our academic activities. Participating in the WIPO DL-101 Consortium allowed us to offer the Intellectual Property (DL-101) course free of charge in an online format, with a complete module and certificate issuance. This has decisively contributed to IP education, the promotion of innovation, the strengthening of institutional research, and the University’s academic competitiveness.”
