The Federal Senate approved on October 6th, the Draft Legislative Decree No. 274/22, which provides for Brazil's accession to the Hague Agreement, on the international registration of Industrial Designs. As it had already been approved by the House, the matter is going to be promulgated.

Under the Agreement, based on an international application, managed within the scope of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Brazilians may apply for the protection of their Industrial Designs in 94 countries, including the United States and Japan, as well as in the European Union.
