Trademark Registration in Portugal- Protect Your Brand Nationwide

Trademarks in Portugal are governed by the Portuguese Institute of Industrial Property (Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial – INPI), which processes applications, examines compliance, publishes for opposition, and issues registrations that provide exclusive rights within Portuguese territory. As a member of the European Union, protection is also available via the EU Trade Mark (EUTM).

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

Exclusive Rights: Grants you exclusive legal ownership and control over your trademark for the registered goods/services throughout Portugal.

Legal Enforcement: Enables you to take action against infringement, counterfeiting, and unauthorized use through the Portuguese Institute of Industrial Property (INPI Portugal) and Portuguese courts.

Nationwide Protection: Secures trademark protection across the entire territory of Portugal.

How the Portugal Trademark Registration Works?

The Portugal  trademark registration system follows a structured sequence of reviews, publications, and legal checks. These steps ensure that trademarks meet all statutory requirements and remain protected over time. 

1

Filing

Submit your trademark application to INPI either online through IPI e-Services or on paper.

2

Examination

INPI conducts a formal check of the application documents.

3

Acceptance & Publication

Once formally accepted, the application is published in the Industrial Property Bulletin for public inspection and to initiate the opposition period.

4

Opposition Period

Third parties may file an opposition within two months from the publication date. After the opposition period, a decision to grant or refuse is issued

5

Registration

If there are no successful oppositions or refusals, and requirements are met, INPI proceeds with registration and issues the Registration Certificate.

A registered trademark in Portugal is valid for 10 years from the date of grant. It may be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year periods. Renewals must be filed in the six months before expiry or within a six-month grace period after expiry with payment of a surcharge.
