Patent Prosecution Made Simpler, Faster, And More Efficient

As Brazil continues its trajectory as a global economy, securing robust and enforceable patent protection is paramount. With a modernising patent office, political commitment, and experienced partners such as Licks Attorneys, Brazil offers a compelling venue for protecting inventions.

Lean prosecution strategies

Thanks to the efforts made by the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (BRPTO) in recent years to reduce the examination backlog, filing-to-grant times have gradually and perceptibly decreased.

Prosecution speed before the office is not solely a matter of the examination queue. Applicants can reduce friction by timing claim adaptations and examination requests, using foreign exams, seeking a fasttrack and deploying divisional or alternative claims.
