A trademark in Brazil is valid for 10 years from the registration date (not from the application date like in many other countries). It can be renewed every ten years by paying a renewal fee.

We need the following information in order to prepare a trademark application in Brazil.

• The full legal name of the applicant (either your company or your personal name)

• The full address of the applicant.

• The trademark name. If you are filing for a logo, we need to see the logo.

• The products which you sell or plan to sell under your trademark (provide a list).

• The services which you offer or plan to offer under your trademark (provide a list).

• Power of attorney.

Brazilian Trademark Office is called Brazilian Institute for Industrial Property (Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial; INPI).

A power of attorney is necessary for trademark filing. We will provide a power of attorney for you. It is not necessary to legalize nor apostille the POA and a simple PDF copy will suffice.
