Register your trademark

A trademark is among a company's most valuable assets: it is what customers recognise. It can be a word, a picture or a symbol that sets your products or services apart from similar ones.

What a registration gives you

Registration follows Brazil's Industrial Property Law (Law 9,279 of 1996), which governs trademarks and patents in the country.

A registered trademark gives the owner exclusive use across Brazil in its line of business, and it can be extended to the other countries of the Paris Convention. If the product succeeds, the right to profit from it is protected.

Over time a brand becomes the customer's shorthand for quality. Registering it is the only legal protection against copies. The application is filed with the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), which examines it under the law.

The fees are an investment rather than a cost: the protection shows up in the company's future revenue.

Common questions

What are the articles of association?

The legal document that sets up a company: its name, address, partners and the rest of its details.

How do I choose my company's tax regime?

It takes a tax and financial plan: for your line of business, which regime means less tax and more profit. One of our accountants works it out and gives you the plan.

What is an MEI?

The individual micro-entrepreneur: a simplified form for people starting out, with monthly revenue up to R$ 6,750 and at most one registered employee.

What are ME and EPP?

Size categories that cap annual revenue: up to R$ 360,000 a year for an ME, up to R$ 4.8 million for an EPP.

How long does opening a company take?

Once we file the application, the company number and the articles of association are usually ready within 48 hours.

Can I open a company with a poor credit record?

Yes. Nothing prevents it, although banks may be harder to deal with when you ask for working capital.

What is the deadline for the company number?

It depends on the state registry and the city. We tell you the expected time for your case before we file the application, and keep you posted until the number is issued.

Can a civil servant open a company?

Yes, but not as the managing partner. Another partner manages the company and you hold shares only.

My taxpayer number has a restriction with the Federal Revenue. Can I still open a company?

First we clear the restriction with the Federal Revenue; once it is cleared, the company can be opened.

Which types of company can I open?

There are several: individual micro-entrepreneur (MEI), sole trader, single-member limited company, limited company and others. Ask us and we will tell you which one fits.

Which legal form should I choose?

It depends on revenue, the number of partners, employees and more. Tell us your situation and an accountant will advise you.

I am just starting out. Which type should I open?

With monthly revenue up to R$ 6,750 and at most one employee, we usually suggest the MEI, as long as your activity is allowed under it.

Can I register the company at my home address?

Yes, if the work is done online and the city hall (and in some cases the state treasury) approves the location.

I live in another city or state. Can you still open my company?

Yes. We open companies in any city or state in Brazil.

I changed my name when I married but did not update it with the Federal Revenue.

The partner's ID must match the Federal Revenue record, so it has to be updated before we can file the company.
