On February 29, 2016, the Brazilian National Institute for
Intellectual Property (INPI) made its trademark database available
to TMview, the free online
trademark search tool developed by the Office for Harmonization in
the Internal Market (OHIM).The search tool includes information and
access to around 40 million trademarks from 54 participating
offices.
INPI´s database integration process started in September
2015 with the development of a test version containing information
of about 80,000 trademarks. Afterwards, the bibliographic data of
about 3.2 million applications and registries available on the
INPI´s online search tool were added to TMView.
The integration of INPI to TMview is a result of the
international cooperation program managed by OHIM in collaboration
with its international partners.
