On June 17, 2024 the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (BRPTO) launched a new platform to fight trademark counterfeiting.
This platform introduces a functionality that allows regulatory authorities to quickly access the contact information of trademark representatives.
This new feature is intended to improve the timeliness and effectiveness of anti-counterfeiting activities across the country by immediately identifying the representative of potentially affected trademarks. This is crucial, as the involvement of trademarks is necessary to proceed with the administrative process of seizing counterfeit products.
