What you need to know

Trademark registration is territorial: the Brazilian certificate is valid in Brazil. Anyone who exports, sells on international marketplaces or plans to franchise abroad needs protection in each territory of interest.

Regicenter has handled international registrations since 2012 and has representatives in several countries. The route depends on the destination: the Madrid Protocol allows a single application, with fees in Swiss francs, designating several countries; in territories outside the system, filing is made directly through a local agent. The Paris Convention guarantees six months of priority from the Brazilian filing.

Trademarks Prior search Before you spend on the application, the unit compares your name with what already exists in the INPI database and tells you where the risk is. Other IP rights Patents Registration of inventions and utility models at INPI, to stop third parties from making, selling or importing your solution. Proceedings and defenses Defences and responses When someone opposes your application or INPI raises a requirement, the response has a deadline and a form. That is what we prepare. Proceedings and defenses Appeals A rejected application is not the end of the road. An appeal can be filed with the INPI President within 60 days. Proceedings and defenses Oppositions Someone applied at INPI for a trademark similar to yours. An opposition is the way to block that application before registration. Proceedings and defenses Cease-and-desist notices Misuse of your trademark by third parties starts being solved with a notice — before it turns into a lawsuit.
