On September 10, the Federal Register published Call for Contributions #3, dated September 4, 2026, to gather inputs that will set the priority order for opening, cleaning, and cataloging BRPTO databases in an open format.
The goal is to determine which databases will be prioritized for release over the next two years under the 2026–2028 Open Data Plan. The Call is also open to foreign participants, and each respondent may select up to five databases they consider most relevant.
The deadline for submissions is 45 days from the date of publication, closing on October 26, 2026.
The BRPTO has made available a list of 17 databases. These include institutional, administrative, and regulatory information, as well as data on intellectual property assets, notably patents, trademarks, industrial designs, and technology transfer agreements. The databases cover applications, registrations, decisions, statistics, and other information of public interest.
The technical note outlining the rationale and description of regulatory options is available on the BRPTO portal and the Brasil Participativo platform. All submissions must be made exclusively through a dedicated form, also available on the Brasil Participativo platform.
