Good to know

An applicant established or domiciled abroad may file directly, without an agent, but must give an address in Portugal or an email address or fax number (Industrial Property Code, Article 10). Requests for revocation or invalidity before INPI must be filed through an official industrial property agent, lawyer or solicitor.
A registration lapses if the mark has not been put to genuine use for five consecutive years for the goods or services registered, unless there is a proper reason (Industrial Property Code, Article 268).
Rights granted by INPI are valid only in Portugal.

International

Madrid Protocol and regional systems

Portugal is a member of the Madrid Protocol since 1997-03-20, so an international registration filed through WIPO can designate it.

EU trade mark (EUIPO): An EU trade mark has a unitary character and equal effect throughout the European Union, which includes Portugal.
