The Brazilian Patent Office (INPI) and the European Patent Office (EPO) are developing a project to improve patent examination

The agreement’s activities will be based on the two-year work plan agreed between the two institutions.

Moreover, The Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) signed between Brazil and Europe was also renewed. PPH allows the use of the search already made by the other offices in order to exam the patent application. After signing this agreement the patents in Brazil shall be granted faster.
