Brazil approves the 2025–2027 IP Action Plan

The Interministerial Group on Intellectual Property (GIPI) approved the 2025–2027 Action Plan, which was published in the Federal Official Gazette on 4 August 2025. The GIPI is an advisory body to the Brazilian federal government on IP policy and the implementing arm of the National Intellectual Property Strategy. Its members include the Brazilian PTO, private-sector representatives, rights-holder associations, practitioners, and R&D organisations.  

 The new plan is structured around seven main priorities: 

• IP for Competitiveness: promote training to boost IP filings, stimulate trade in IP-intensive goods and services, and help local governments unlock the value of their assets.
• Dissemination and training: launch awareness campaigns, maintain a presence at major events, and evaluate the incorporation of IP into higher and technical education programmes.
• Institutional strengthening: simplify procedures, provide fully digital and multilingual services, and improve examiner training.
• Regulatory modernisation: update the rules to provide greater transparency, legal certainty, and predictability.
• Enforcement: raise awareness of the negative consequences of infringement and provide specialised training for the judiciary.
• Intelligence and foresight: leverage IP databases, conduct trend studies (including those on AI), and guide innovation.
• International integration: increase Brazil's presence in global forums and support companies in protecting their rights abroad.
