I have clients in Brazil and in the United States. If I register my brand with the INPI, is it valid in both countries?

No. Registration with the INPI (Brazil's National Institute of Industrial Property) protects your brand only in Brazil. Each country has its own registration office. If you sell to the United States, Mexico, or Argentina, you need to register there too. It's common for a company to lose its brand in another country because it registered only here. TF inter sees your business across the entire continent. We help you plan where to register first, based on the countries in the Americas where you operate. That way your brand is protected where the money comes in.
