ブラジルでは、特許出願手続を開始するにあたって、国立工業所有権院(ポルトガル語の略称、INPI)に出願書類を提出するが、これには、少なくとも願書、明細書、クレーム範囲、要約書および出願手数料の納付証明書を提出する必要がある。これらの要件を満たさない場合、INPIは方式に関する審査官の通知を発行することになる。出願人は30日以内にこれに回答しなければならない。通知に回答しなかった場合、出願が無効で取り下げられたものとみなされる。

ブラジルの知的財産法によれば、提出された特許出願は、出願日から18カ月が経過した後、審査未了の特許出願の公開において公開することができる。しかしながら、INPIが抱えている特許出願のバックログ(未処理分)が多いことを考慮すると、特許出願は約2~3年後に公開されるのが一般的である。審査未了の特許出願の公開日から審査終了までの期間において、第三者および出願人は、審査を支援するための意見を提出することができる。

出願人は、出願日から36か月以内に、出願の審査請求を提出しなければならない。36ヶ月以内に審査請求を提出しなかった場合、出願が取り下げられたとみなされる。ただし、出願人は、取下日から60日以内に所定の手数料を納付することにより、取り下げられた出願を回復することができる。出願人がこの期限に従わなかった場合には、出願が取り下げられたことが確認されます。

さらに、出願人は、提出した出願の内容を明瞭にするためまたは明確にするために、審査請求書を提出する時までに、明細書およびクレーム範囲の案について補正を提出することができる。それにもかかわらず、いずれの補正についても、出願時に最初に開示された内容の補正に限定されるべきである。審査請求が提出された後は、出願人の任意の決定または審査官の通知のいずれかによる補正において、その補正によってクレームに記載された対象の保護範囲が変更されるか拡大される可能性がある場合は、そのような補正も受け入れられない。この点で、クレームに記載された対象を制限する補正のみが受け入れられる。 審査期間中、審査官による通知と拒絶理由についての最終以前の通知の2種類の公式通知が発行される。出願人は、審査未了の特許出願の公表日から90日以内に、これらの通知に回答しなければならない。

簡単に言えば、審査官の通知は、明瞭性要件の違反や支持要件の違反などの正式要件で概ね構成されている。拒絶理由についての最終以前の通知の場合、出願が拒絶されることがある。これは新規性や発明の欠如など、特許性の要件に違反したために発生することが一般的である。発行可能な公式通知の数に制限はない。INPIは、審査未了の特許出願の公開において、特許を付与するか拒絶するかの決定を発表し、これによって審査プロセスを終了させる。

The procedure for apatent application in Brazil is initiated by filing an application form with INPI, in which at least an application form, draft of descriptions, scope of claims, abstract and proof of payment of the application fee must be submitted. Failure to fulfill these requirements will cause INPI to issue a notification by an examiner in relation to formality, to which the applicant must respond within 30 days.

According to the IP Code in Brazil, a filed patent application is publicized in the publication of unexamined patent applications after 18 months from the date of application. However, with a consideration of a high volume of the backlog retained in INPI, a filed patent application is typically publicized after approximately two to three years from the date of application. During the period from the date of the publication of unexamined patent applications until the end of examination, any third party and the applicant (for the purpose of assisting the examination) are allowed to submit their opinions.

An applicant is required to file a request for examination of the application within 36 months from the date of application. Failure to file a request for examination within 36 months will be deemed withdrawal of the application.

The applicant is required to respond to these notifications within 90 days from the date of publication of unexamined patent applications.

To put it simply, notifications by an examiner are generally composed of formality requirements such as a violation of requirements of clarity or a violation of support requirements. In a case of a non-final notification of reasons for refusal, an application may be rejected typically due to a violation of the requirements of patentability such as lack of novely and inventive step. No limit is stipulated in the number of issuable official notifications.

  1. A substantive edit ensures that the sentence structure is made concise and formal while maintaining the author�s meaning.
  2. Grammatical accuracy in verb and noun usage should be accurate in academic writing.
  3. This instance has been revised to clearly convey that �backlog� refers to patent applications.
  4. In a range, the en-dash is used in place of a hyphen.
  5. The information in the bracket has been moved outside as it is important to the text.
  6. Formal writing should be free of redundancy and repetition. The focus of the document is on Brazilian IP Code and hence it is implied that all the conditions mentioned are of Brazil. This information has been deleted to eliminate redundancy.
  7. The purpose of an action should be mentioned clearly. Hence, the purpose of enabling clarification has been mentioned as a separate sentence.
  8. Academic writing should not contain lengthy and wordy sentences as they can hamper clarity. The sentence has been divided into two to introduce clarity and better formal expression.
