E-Filing of Geographical Indications


On February 21, 2019, the Brazilian Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial (INPI) has made available the electronic system for Geographical Indications (GIs). This was approved by Resolution No. 233 of January 18, 2019. Filings of GIs on paper are now not possible anymore.

The system can be accessed by using the same login and password registered in the system of the Union Collection Form (GRU). When requesting the service, the user will need a GRU number, which must be paid before starting the process.
