Brazil: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$1,175 for one class, plus US$1,175 for each further class. Brazil is a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark can be filed with its office directly or extended to Brazil through an international registration. Brazil is a leading import market for pharmaceuticals (class 5) and musical instruments (class 15). It is also one of the world's leading exporters of firearms and fireworks (class 13) and building materials (class 19).
Figures by trademark class count branded goods only: raw commodities that are traded mostly without brands - such as gold bars, fuel, bulk chemicals, grain and fabric by the metre - are left out. Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates are left out of the rankings, as much of their trade is re-exported.
In colour: goods where Brazil is among the world's 10 largest exporters, or has at least 5% of world exports. In grey, for comparison: its next-largest shares.
Goods where Brazil is among the world's 3 largest exporters, has at least 15% of world exports, or that make up at least 25% of its own exports - of at least US$500m a year.
Our estimate is about US$1,175 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$175 in official fees and about US$1,000 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class costs about as much again (US$1,175). Responses to office actions and oppositions are not included. These are estimates only: the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application. Request a quote from a law firm on this site for an exact price.

WIPO's fee to designate Brazil is CHF 251 for one class (about US$301) and CHF 502 for two classes, on top of WIPO's basic fee for the international application.

Where goods are made and exported, copies are often made too: a registered trademark there lets you act against counterfeits at the source, including with the help of customs.
