Starting this week (August 1, 2023), Brazil will join the World Intellectual Property Organization’s (WIPO) Digital Access Service for Priority Documents (DAS) as an accessing office specifically for industrial designs.
As a result, the Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) will begin accepting WIPO-DAS codes to access official priority documents related to industrial design registrations.
Consequently, when making a registration request, applicants will need to provide the claimed priority number and its corresponding DAS code.
These documents should include the identification number, date of deposit, and visual representations of the industrial designs. Applicants will have a 90-day window from the deposit date to submit the WIPO-DAS code.
By submitting valid priority documentation through the WIPO-DAS code, it will be assumed that the application filed in Brazil is accurately reflected in the original document, eliminating the need for a simple translation of the priority document.
