On May 30, the Federal Senate of Brazil published Legislative Decree No. 49/2019 approving the Madrid Protocol on the International Registration of Marks.
Through this accession, Brazil undertakes to examine the trade marks that designate said territory within a maximum period of 18 months, provided that third parties do not oppose its registration, an aspect that will undoubtedly speed up the processing of the trade marks and will benefit the undertakings interested in doing business in the country.
The Decree will now have to be approved by the President of the Republic and is expected to be implemented during October of this year 2019.
