Industrial design filings in Brazil increased by more than 25% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. A part of this growth comes from designs related to Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), reflecting a shift in how companies value the visual layer of their technologies.
Recent changes in Brazil’s legal framework now allow for the protection of both static and dynamic images, offering greater legal certainty to rights holders. As tech companies focus not only on functionality but also on the ornamental aspects of their creations, enforcement of GUI-related designs is expected to become more frequent.
This webinar will help you understand how to act with confidence in this evolving landscape. Whether you are preparing to file, reviewing existing assets, or advising global teams on design protection, this session will deliver the clarity you need.
Join us for a high-level session, where we’ll cover:
• The current industrial design landscape in Brazil
• BPTO’s examination guidelines for GUI applications
• Enforcement strategies and litigation risks
• Legal implications of AI-generated designs, amid ongoing legislative debate
