Trademark Renewal in Portugal

    Why is it important to renew a trademark in Portugal?

    Trademark protection is not automatic for life: all trademarks have a limited validity and require periodic renewal to maintain their rights. If the trademark is not renewed, it can expire, allowing third parties to register it or use it commercially.

    We advise you on how to renew a registered trademark in Portugal, when to carry out the procedure, necessary documents and what to do if the registration is about to expire or is already in a grace period. We also manage multiple renewals for companies with large brand portfolios.

    Do you need to protect anything else in Portugal?

    Renewal keeps an already registered trademark in force. If you want to register a new trademark, or protect the shape of a product, an invention or a work, each of these has its own form of protection and its own procedure. Trademarks, patents and designs are handled by the Portuguese INPI, each with its own file and fee; copyright, by the General Inspectorate of Cultural Activities (IGAC), where registration is optional.

    New trademark

    If you are launching a new name, logo or product line, you need a registration of its own: renewal does not extend the protection of the existing trademark.

    Example: a second brand for another product line.

    Term: 10 years, renewable indefinitely for equal periods.

    Industrial design

    Protects the external appearance of a product: its shape, lines or ornamentation. It does not protect the name.

    Example: the silhouette of a bottle or the design of a package.

    Patent of invention

    Protects a new technical solution with an inventive step and industrial application: a mechanism, a process or a product with a function.

    Example: a locking system or a manufacturing method.

    Copyright

    Protects works: texts, music, software, photographs or audiovisual works. In Portugal it arises upon creation; registration with the IGAC is optional and serves as proof of authorship and date.

    Example: the code of an app or an illustrated catalog.
