Brazil is a first-to-file country meaning that rights in a trademark belong to a party who registered the trademark. There are some exceptions to this rule like “right of precedence in registration” based on good-faith prior use of an unregistered trademark.
If you plan to do business in Brazil, a Brazilian trademark should be filed as soon as possible.
Important highlights of the Brazilian registration process:
- Multiple class applications are possible in Brazil, but not operational at the moment. Therefore, for now, it is necessary to file each class in a different application/process.
- Co-ownership of a trademark is also possible in Brazil
- A Brazilian trademark in a regular (smooth) procedure nowadays takes about 10 months from application till granting (no oppositions/office actions/denials).
- First-to-file country just like China and Mexico, with a few exceptions to defend good faith.
- Registration is valid for 10 years starting from the day of registration (not from application like in many other countries).
- In Brazil, there are government filing fees and government registration fees (grant fees).
- Proof of use is not required at the time of filing
