1 (a). What are the general principles of the treatment of IP license agreements in insolvency proceedings? Is there a difference depending on the type of proceeding (e.g., a court-appointed receivership, a bankruptcy, a restructuring, etc.)?
The Brazilian Insolvency Law (Brazilian Law # 11,101/2005, "BIL") sets forth three types of proceedings as follows: extrajudicial reorganization, judicial reorganization and bankruptcy. None of them contain specific insolvency provisions about IP license agreements.
