Patent examination decisions are growing and backlog decreased in the first semester of 2020.
The BPTO´s official numbers show a relevant increase in the examination decisions – which reached 20,675 patent applications, equivalent to 51.6% of the target for the year (40,092 applications) and 87.6% of all 2019 production (23,592 applications).

As a consequence, the reduction of the patent backlog included on the program, reached 30,4% until June, pointing to the possibility of reaching the estimated 52% for 2020 and the final goal of 80% backlog reduction in 2021. For further information, click here.

The timelines of applications included in the Priority Examination available programs also achieved significant results- from 18 months until a decision in 2019 to 13.4 months last June.
Priority exams are another initiative of the BPTO to speed up decisions and reduce the backlog, in order to encourage innovation and competitiveness in Brazil. Check out all the Priority exams modalities here.
