What is the registration process of Brazilian trademarks?
The process of registering a Brazilian trademark:

1. Trademark form review: After the applicant submits the application, the trademark registrant will review the legality of the submitted application documents, trademark patterns, power of attorney and other documents; If it meets the requirements, the application date and application number shall be granted.

2. Examination of the substance of the trademark: according to the law, examine whether the trademark is registrable, whether it is the same as or similar to the previously registered trademark, and whether it violates the prohibition clause of the Trademark Law. For trademarks that fail the substantive examination, the examiner will notify the applicant in writing and inform the reasons for rejection. The applicant can submit the examination opinions within the time limit from the date of receiving the notice of rejection, otherwise the application will be regarded as abandoned, and the application date and application number will not be retained.

3. Trademark announcement: After examination, the examiner thinks that the trademark application is acceptable and will make an announcement in the official trademark announcement of Brazil. 2 months from the date of announcement is the objection period.

4. Registration approval: a trademark that can be registered after an objection ruling, or a trademark that has been announced without objection, shall be registered and issued with a registration certificate. The whole application process is smooth (if there are no rejections, objections, etc.). It takes about 36-48 months.
