Trademark Registration in Brazil - Protect Your Brand Nationwide

Trademark matters in Brazil are administered by the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), operating under the Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services. INPI is responsible for the filing, examination, publication, opposition, and registration of trademarks in Brazil. The trademark system follows a first-to-file principle and includes formality examination, substantive examination on absolute and relative grounds, publication in the Official Gazette, opposition proceedings, and final registration. Foreign applicants are required to file through a locally appointed Brazilian trademark attorney.

Why Trademark Registration in the Brazil Is Important for Brand Protection?

Legal Enforcement: Allows you to take action against copycats, counterfeiters, and infringers through INPI and Brazilian courts.

Nationwide Protection: Ensures brand protection across all regions of Brazil, not just where the business operates.

Market Positioning: Strengthens brand identity, enhances customer trust, and differentiates you from competitors in the market.

Asset Creation: Converts your brand into a commercial asset that can be licensed, franchised, assigned, or sold.

How the Brazil Trademark Registration Works

1

Filing

Trademark applications are filed electronically with INPI through a Brazilian trademark attorney. The application includes applicant particulars, representation of the mark, and specification of goods/services under the Nice Classification. An application number is issued upon filing.

2

Examination

INPI conducts formal and substantive examination to assess registrability, including distinctiveness and conflicts with earlier trademarks.

3

Publication

If accepted, the trademark application is published in the Official Gazette (Revista da Propriedade Industrial).

4

Opposition Period

Third parties may file an opposition within 2 months from the date of publication.

5

Registration

If no opposition is filed, or if opposition proceedings are resolved in favor of the applicant, the trademark proceeds to registration and a certificate is issued.

6

Validity & Renewal

10 years from the filing date and may be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year periods upon payment of renewal fees.
