The typical timeline is approximately 14 months from filing to grant notification. Here's the breakdown:
  • 8 weeks after filing: Publication for opposition period
  • 60 days: Opposition period (if no oppositions filed)
  • 14 months: Examination and final decision
We provide weekly updates on your application status throughout this process.

Required documentation includes:
  • Power of Attorney - Can be signed via email
  • Affidavit - Declaration of business activity
  • Trademark representation - Logo or word mark
  • Goods/services description - What the trademark will cover

Good news: No legalization required for basic filings - documents can be signed and returned via email.

In Brazil, each trademark class requires a separate application. This means:
  • Each class has its own application number and timeline
  • Separate government fees for each class
  • Independent examination processes
  • Different grant dates possible

We help you determine the optimal classes for your business and can file multiple applications simultaneously.

Our weekly monitoring service includes:
  • Application status updates - Progress on your pending applications
  • Similarity searches - New applications that might conflict with yours
  • Publication alerts - When your applications are published
  • Grant notifications - When your trademarks are officially registered

There are often more than 10,000 new trademark applications published each week in Brazil.
