On August 7, 2025, the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (BPTO) published an updated version of its Trademark Manual, incorporating significant changes stemming from the new Fee Schedule and the definition of research parameters for proving a trademark’s well-known status.

Among the key updates to the Fee Schedule, established by INPI/PR Ordinance No. 10 of May 9, 2025, are the revised discount policy and the inclusion of priority examination for trademark applications, measures aimed at streamlining procedures and improving accessibility. The Manual also introduces, for the first time, clear guidelines on research for proving well-known status, based on a Public Consultation that received broad public participation.

The complete list of changes is available on the “Trademark Manual Updates” page on BPTO’s official website.
