About ABIA/ GTPI

The Working Group on Intellectual Property (GTPI) of the Brazilian Network for the Integration of Peoples - REBRIP, brings together several civil society organizations, social movements and experts related to the subject of intellectual property and access to health care in Brazil. For public interest, GTPI works to mitigate the impact of patents on ensuring the population's access to medicines and health. The work encompasses proposing legal and administrative actions and conduct advocacy on the issue of intellectual property and access to medical innovations; to actively monitor the international negotiations on intellectual property in which Brazil is involved; to monitor and focus the debate on intellectual property in the legislature; to influence public opinion in order to show the social impacts of trade agreements and the abuse of the intellectual property system; and deepening ties with organizations in the global south of civil society who are active on the issue of intellectual property and expanding access to health and pharmaceutical care.
