In recent months, despite the challenging circumstances of the
global economic scenario, the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office
– BPTO [National Institute of Industrial Property - INPI] has
adopted initiatives seeking to reduce the time taken to examine
patent applications (backlog) and aiming to encourage investment in
and the development and commercialisation of new technologies.
Among these initiatives are Ordinances INPI no. 294/2020, INPI no.
247/2020 and INPI no. 331/2020, which came into force throughout
the second half of this year and may contribute to stimulating the
licensing of patents and technology transfer in the country.
