Our partnership began in 2001, concentrating on Intellectual Property and supporting new businesses and entrepreneurs.

We ensure our clients are kept well-informed about their applications and strive to make their entry into the Brazilian market as smooth as possible.
With over 20 years of experience filing trademarks, we are able to provide you with an efficient and effective service to protect your trademarks in Brazil.
Trademarks in Brazil are filed with each class as a separate application. Once the application is filed, it takes about 8 weeks for publication by the Brazilian Trademark Office that the application is open for opposition by third parties. Currently taking about 14 months to be informed that the application has been granted.

Required documentation to file a trademark in Brazil comprises of a Power of Attorney and an Affidavit (a declaration of business activity). These can be signed and returned via email without the need for legalization. Additional documents are required to transfer ownership, and require legalisation.
Each week, we search for publications related to your applications. These can be to advise you that your application has been received and open for oppositions. Also that your trademark as been granted.
Each week, we search the most recent new applications for trademarks that might be similar to yours. If we find something, we´ll let you know.
The number of new trademarks varies each week, but often, there are more than 10,000 new trademarks published. Most of course are Brazilian companies but there is a growing number filed by foreign companies.
We speak English and Portuguese as native language.
