Bhering Advogados is experienced in handling the preparation, filing and monitoring of applications regarding the protection of patents and industrial designs before de Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). Every year our firm takes over hundreds of new cases involving different technologies, including those in the fields of electronics, chemicals and mechanical engineering.

We understand that the grant of patents for inventions and utility models, as well as the registration of industrial designs, are ways to recover amounts invested in the research and the development of innovation, and strategic stages in the process of recognition and growth of our clients’ businesses. Thus, our legal practice in licensing is extremely useful for obtaining the protection of patents and industrial designs which may effectively be licensed or safeguarded in possible conflicts with third parties.

Our main office is conveniently located near the headquarters of the BPTO in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Even after the applications have been filed at the PTO, our professionals keep continuously engaged in working with clients to provide legal support and to monitor each stage in the examination of each procedure.

Our office works with a consolidated network of foreign correspondents, thus making possible the effective protection of our cases also abroad. Bhering Advogados has broad experience with procedures for the international filing of patent applications via Patent Cooperation Treaty - PCT.
