Professional Trademark Registration in Brazil

The cost to register a trademark in Brazil is US$ 600 for the first class, plus US$ 600 for each additional class.

In Brazil, a final registration fee of US$ 500 applies for the first class and US$ 500 for each additional class. This payment will only be due in case of successful registration.

The price includes:

• Official INPI government fees
• iGERENT’s professional service fees

Working with iGERENT includes:

• A dedicated trademark consultant
• Correct classification and precise application drafting
• Full handling of filings, office communications, and responses

Your Brazil trademark registration becomes simple, accurate, and fully managed.

Most applications begin with minimal documentation, but the core requirement is:

• A scanned copy of a signed Power of Attorney (POA) authorizing our representative to act before INPI.

Depending on your case, INPI may request additional items such as:

• Applicant identification
• Logo files
• Packaging or product label samples
• Proof of use (in specific objections or situations)

Your iGERENT consultant will tell you exactly what is needed and when, ensuring a smooth and stress-free process.

On average, Brazil trademark registration takes 24 months for straightforward cases. Timing may vary depending on:

• Substantive examination
• Objections
• Oppositions
• Office workload

Your consultant monitors every update and keeps you informed, so you never miss a deadline or request.

Once approved, your trademark is registered and INPI issues your official certificate.

Brazilian trademarks:

• Are protected for 10 years from the registration date
• Can be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year periods
• May be renewed up to 12 months before the expiry date
• Can also be renewed during a 6-month grace period after expiration, subject to late renewal fees

As long as you renew your mark on time and avoid long periods of non-use, your Brazilian registration can remain in force indefinitely.

To avoid missing renewal deadlines and manage the process with peace of mind, you can rely on our Brazil Trademark Renewal Service.

Yes. Once a trademark application is published in INPI’s official bulletin, third parties may file an opposition if they believe it:

• Is identical or confusingly similar to their own mark
• Conflicts with their prior rights
• May cause consumer confusion for similar goods or services

In Brazil, opposition actions must be filed within 60 days from the publication date of the application.

The chances of success will depend on factors such as the similarity between the marks, the overlap of goods/services, and the strength and prior use of your trademark in Brazil. Having an existing registration or proven use is often a key element in supporting an opposition.

If you believe a pending application affects your rights, we can review your case and guide you through the full opposition process before INPI, from strategy to filing and follow-up.

In Brazil, use is not required to obtain trademark registration, but it is essential to maintain your rights over time.

After registration, if a trademark is not used for five (5) consecutive years, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions for non-use. A third party may request that INPI cancel the registration on this basis.

To keep your Brazilian trademark safe:

• Use the mark genuinely and continuously in Brazil for the goods/services covered.
• Keep evidence of use, such as invoices, advertising materials, packaging, website screenshots, or catalogues, in case you need to defend against a non-use action.

If INPI or a third party ever requests proof of use, your iGERENT consultant will guide you through exactly what to provide and how to present it, ensuring you submit everything needed to keep your protection active.

Brazil recognizes three-dimensional (3D) trademarks, allowing protection for distinctive shapes, packaging, and product configurations before INPI.

To register a 3D trademark in Brazil:

• Your application must include a set of images showing the object from several angles (front, back, top, bottom and sides).
• The shape must not be generic, common to the product, or dictated solely by technical function.
• You must include a statement describing the distinctive elements of the 3D mark, as specifically required by INPI.
• If the 3D sign is not inherently distinctive, INPI may request evidence of acquired distinctiveness (secondary meaning) based on use in the marketplace.

For more details, you can refer to the INPI website.
