The Brazilian Industrial Property Institute has made its first major price increase in 13 years, with application fees set to increase by 48%.

Brazil's National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) recently announced that, effective August 7, 2025, it will implement its first major fee adjustment since 2012, increasing official fees for patents, trademarks, and industrial designs by approximately 48%. Additionally, the INPI will introduce a bundled application option to streamline the process and launch new tools to streamline opposition proceedings.

For companies focused on global intellectual property development, this significant change is undoubtedly worthy of close attention. The INPI's price adjustment will have a direct impact on companies that hold or plan to apply for patents, trademarks, and industrial designs in the Brazilian market.
