• Protection of well-known trademarks in Brazil
  The Brazilian Law grants to trademarks identified as well-known an extended protection, which, however, is rarely invoked. In fact, the Brazilian law ensures owners of trademarks deemed well-known extended protection covering all fields of activity, i.e., all trademark classes. In practical terms, this means that even when a trademark is registered in a single class, if such trademark is well-known recognized, no identical or similar trademark can be registered in Brazil in any other class.
