Legal status information (kind of information, coverage, medium, etc.)

The Directorate of Patents has recently mapped the patent application workflow based on their legal statuses. An automatic state machine that controls this work flow based on events published on the Patent Gazette is currently being implemented. The intention is that by the end of 2018 the complete legal status information for all the Brazilian patent documents will be directly available to the general public at the office webpage.

A report describing the legal status and state machine development can be accessed at (Portuguese only):
