What we do

Everything you need to register and protect trademarks in Brazil, handled by one experienced team from start to finish.

Trademark filing

We handle the full application process at the INPI — availability search, documentation, filing, and all follow-up until the certificate is issued. Each class is a separate application in Brazil.

Weekly monitoring

We review every weekly INPI publication for potential conflicts with your marks. If a similar application appears, you know about it while the opposition window is still open. This is included with every filing.

Opposition & defence

If a third party opposes your application — or if you need to oppose theirs — we handle the proceedings and keep you informed at every step.

Portfolio management

For firms with multiple marks in Brazil, we manage renewals, deadline tracking, and status updates. You get regular reports without having to chase us.

Simplified documentation

Our practical approach uses email-based document signing. No Apostille or legalization is typically required for the Power of Attorney, saving you time and cost.

Market intelligence

We track filing trends at the INPI — which classes are congested, which countries are filing most, and what it means for your strategy. We publish this data regularly.

How it works

A straightforward process. We handle the complexity so you don't have to.

Tell us about the mark

Send us the trademark name, logo (if applicable), and the classes you need. We'll confirm availability.

We prepare & file

We prepare the documentation and file at the INPI. The Power of Attorney is signed by email — no notarization needed.

Publication & monitoring

The application is published within ~8 weeks. We monitor every weekly gazette for conflicts and respond to any office actions.

Grant & certificate

Once approved (~14 months), we deliver your registration certificate. We continue monitoring afterward for as long as we are the power of attorney.

For Chinese applicants

In 2025, China surpassed the United States as Brazil's largest source of international trademark applications — 4,184 filings vs. 4,137 from the US.

We serve Chinese companies and Chinese IP agencies directly. Our process is designed for efficiency: email-based PoA, English communication, and competitive fees without big-firm overhead.

Why work with us

We're a boutique firm. That means lower overhead, direct communication, and a team that knows your portfolio by name.

Boutique fees, not big-firm fees

As a focused trademark agency, we don't carry the overhead of large practices. Our fees reflect that — without compromising on quality or attention.

Monitoring included, not extra

Most firms charge separately for weekly publication monitoring. We include it with every filing. It's too important to be optional.

No Apostille required

Our email-based Power of Attorney process eliminates the need for notarization and legalization. Faster for you, simpler for everyone.

Direct communication

You deal with the people doing the work, not a relay of account managers. Questions get answered quickly because there's no chain to pass through.
