The BPTO made available in its official page the regulations for the use of geographical indications by region from Brazil and abroad. The initiative is part of the BPTO’s Action Plan for 2018, which provides for the implementation of measures that promote the Institute’s operational efficiency.
Access can be made directly through the Basic Geographical Indication (GI) Guide, in step “2. Prepare the documentation.” In this new space, the user may have access to the regulation corresponding to their GI registration, either in the indication of origin or in the designation of origin.
Currently, there are 66 regulations for the use of geographical indications registered in the BPTO, national and foreign. New records of geographical indications will be soon announced by the institute. The complete regulation can be found here (In Portuguese).
