New BRPTO fees comes into force in August
On 7 August 2025, Ordinance GM/MDIC No. 110 of 5 May 2025 ("Ordinance") will come into force instating the new table of BRPTO – Brazilian Patent and Trade Mark Office.
Considering that the BRPTO's fees had not been updated since 2019, it was only a matter of time before a new version was proposed to reflect the devaluation of the Brazilian Real and inflation faced by the country since the last update.
Despite most fees become effective today, the new fees shall enter into force in three (3) phases: (i) on 7 August 2025; (ii) from 20 September 2025; and (iii) from 20 December 2025.
New INPI fees and procedures
In addition to the new fees, the Ordinance mentions new types of services related to the administrative procedure of registering and renewing trademarks, patents and industrial designs.
The new services include, for example, a new opposition procedure with restriction of claims, limited to the protection of a third party's trade mark (art. 124, item XIX of the Brazilian Industrial Property Law – Law No. 9,279/96) by class, pending detailing in a specific ordinance.
The most notable change was the agglutination of the granting fee with the application fee of trade marks, starting from 20 September. Therefore, all applications filed after 20 September will not require the payment of the granting fee – a welcome change for users, especially for those with an international application designating Brazil via Madrid Protocol.
New table of fees
The new INPI fees will be presented below in three separate tables, divided by area:
- Trademarks
- Industrial Designs
- Patents
Each table will indicate:
(i) the name of the service
(ii) whether it is a new or existing service
(iii) the previous fee amount
(iv) the new fee amount
(v) the effective date
