BRPTO new official fees
BRPTO Updates Official Fee Schedule for 2025
BRAZIL – The Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (BRPTO) published Ordinance No. 10/2025 on May 12, updating its fee schedule for IP services. This adjustment reflects a 24.1% increase and will come into effect on August 7, 2025, 90 days after its publication.
Despite the long period without monetary updates (since 2012), the adjustments were defined responsibly. The BRPTO aims to ensure its financial sustainability, covering operational costs and supporting technological modernization to meet growing demand, while remaining well below the accumulated inflation of the period.
Key Changes in Fee Structure
The most significant alteration is the elimination of the grant fee, which has now been incorporated into the initial application filing fee.
Standard Trademark Application (Pre-approved specification – Code 389): The consolidated filing fee for a regular entity is **R$ 880.00** (approx. US$ 176.00).
Custom Trademark Application (Free specification – Code 394): The fee for a regular entity is now **R$ 1,720.00** (approx. US$ 344.00).
The system maintains a 50% discount for “small entities” and “individuals,” ensuring continuous accessibility to the intellectual property system. You can access the full table of the new Brazilian PTO fees (USD) here.
