About me

Lukas studies the field of Intellectual Property Law since the beginning of his Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) at the Brazilian Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) in 2011. He had a visiting scholar period during his LL.B studies at University of Lisbon's school of law, where he had the chance to study under Professor José de Oliveira Ascensão. Back in Brazil, he now holds a Master's Degree (M.Sc.) from the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), due to his studies on AI Authorship under Professor Marcos Wachowicz and is now a Ph.D. Candidate at the same institution. Lukas is also an LL.M. in IP and Technology at the American University Washington College of Law and the Technology Law & Policy Fellow for the Wikimedia Foundation.

My work

The Foundation faces a myriad of legal issues ranging from complex copyright questions to international freedom of speech issues to mobile development to internal corporate compliance. Because of the wide array of legal issues, the fellows will be assigned challenging projects based on their particular interests and strengths. These projects range from researching various legal questions to drafting licensing agreements to developing internal and external policies.
