Safeguarding Your Sales in Brazil — With Brealant by Your Side
Platforms have specific requirements for design-based IP complaints, and a poorly prepared notice is often rejected or delayed. Brealant's experience with these processes means notices are far less likely to bounce back for corrections.
Limitations
What a Takedown Notice Cannot Do
Takedown notices are effective, but they have limits
Registration Evidence Required
Most platforms expect evidence of a valid registration, so incomplete or expired design records can slow the process.
Platform-Specific
A notice only removes content from the platform it's submitted to — other platforms require separate notices.
No Guarantee of Removal
Platforms make their own determination and may reject an incomplete or unclear notice.
Doesn't Stop Reposting
Infringers can sometimes relist under a new account, requiring repeat action.
Doesn't Replace Legal Action
For serious or repeat infringers, a notice alone may not be enough, and further legal steps may be needed.
Brealant advises when a notice is enough, and when stronger enforcement action is warranted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a registered design to file a takedown notice?
Yes, most platforms expect evidence of a registered design, and one that has been substantively examined strengthens the complaint further.
Which platforms can Brealant file with?
We handle notices with major e-commerce marketplaces and platforms operating in Brazil that run a formal IP complaints process.
What if the same seller relists the product?
Many platforms have repeat-infringer policies; Brealant can help escalate these cases for stronger action.
Can Brealant monitor for new copycat listings ongoing?
Yes, we offer ongoing monitoring services that proactively identify new infringing listings.
How much does a design takedown notice cost?
Brealant charges a fixed professional fee per notice, with discounted rates available for ongoing monitoring across multiple listings.
How long does it typically take a platform to remove a listing after notice?
Timelines vary by platform, but most act within days once a properly evidenced notice, supported by your registration, is submitted.
Can the seller submit a counter-notice?
Some platforms allow a counter-notice, after which Brealant can advise on further escalation if the dispute isn't resolved.
Can a takedown be filed based on a design application that hasn't registered yet?
Some platforms accept a pending application as supporting evidence, though a registered — and ideally examined — design generally carries more weight.
Does this work against sellers based outside Brazil?
Yes, takedown notices target the listing on the platform itself, regardless of where the seller is physically located.
Should I send a takedown notice or a cease and desist letter first?
For marketplace listings, a takedown notice is usually faster; a cease and desist letter suits sellers with their own website or repeat offenders — we can advise on the best combination.
