Although eligible for the provisions of the Sole Paragraph of Article 40 of the Brazilian IP Statute, an additional 42 patents have been granted with a reduced term of protection in the BRPTO’s Official Gazette #2626 of May 4, 2021. Those patents add to the 114 patents previously granted with a reduced term of protection in Official Gazettes #2623 to #2625.
