Gender data in intellectual property and the pursuit of a feminist informational ethics in international policy

Brazilian experiences at WIPO and the WTO

  • Given the persistent underrepresentation of women in international trade and in science, technology, and innovation-intensive sectors, a Brazilian proposal to include gender fields in intellectual property application forms was presented to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) between 2024 and 2025. This work aims to document this Brazilian effort to promote the development of indicators that enable comparative analyses of women's participation in innovation and foreign trade, grounded in an intersection between feminist and informational ethics in international policy. The research was based on public information from administrative proceedings found in Brazil's Electronic Information System (SEI). As a result, it identifies a practical case of the application of a feminist informational ethics.
