SUMMARY:

Public health emergencies, such as the one resulting from the Covid-19 outbreak, provoked by the new coronavirus, with the scientific name SARS-CoV-2, cause transversal damage to sustainable development, by causing profound and far-reaching socioeconomic impacts. Faced with such situations, accessibility to pharmaceutical products, such as vaccines and medicines, becomes urgent, which can be harmed by the legal protection granted to patents. Thus, this work investigates whether the compulsory licensing of pharmaceutical patents is a viable legal measure that contributes to the achievement of sustainable development, in view of the impacts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, identifying legal and socioeconomic parameters that viability the adoption of the measure for this purpose. For that, the hypothetical-deductive approach method and bibliographic and documentary research techniques were used. First, there was an analysis of theoretical discussions on the two main categories that are part of the hypothesis: sustainable development and the legal regime of pharmaceutical patents. Based on theoretical references, jurismetrics, statistical methods applied to Law, were applied to quantitatively analyze the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on sustainable development, the characteristics of the market structure in the Brazilian pharmaceutical industry and the panorama of patents on technologies used in vaccines and medicines to face the pandemic. Based on the analysis of theoretical discussions and empirical evidence, it is concluded that the feasibility of the Brazilian federal government adopting the compulsory licensing of pharmaceutical patents with a view to contributing to the achievement of sustainable development, in certain circumstances, according to outlined legal and socioeconomic parameters.
