To guarantee the originality and accessibility of your IP, a detailed examination is carried out in Portugal’s IP database. This extensive process includes reviewing current IP rights to detect any possible conflicts. Detecting these conflicts at an early stage helps to avoid legal disputes in the future and facilitates a seamless registration process.

File application
The application is submitted to the Portugal Patent Office with all the necessary forms and fees being submitted accurately and within the specified deadline. Taking care of every step of the filing procedure, including filling out the required paperwork and verifying all information is correct, helps prevent any administrative delays or mistakes.
Examination process
The IP office reviews the application to ensure it meets legal standards. Working with the examiners and providing any necessary information or clarification helps the evaluation process run efficiently and effectively.
Publication and opposition
Once the IP is published, third parties have the opportunity to challenge it if they think their rights are being infringed. Keeping an eye on the publication and addressing any opposition that comes up is crucial in safeguarding your application and resolving any conflicts to protect your intellectual property.
