Clear, Simple Steps to a Strong Specification

In Brazil, a patent specification must clearly describe the invention and support claims that define the scope of protection sought. Working closely with your technical team through each drafting stage is the clearest way to make sure the specification accurately captures what's genuinely novel.

Safeguarding Your Protection

With Brealant by Your Side

Poorly drafted claims can be too narrow to be commercially useful, or too broad to survive examination or later challenge. Brealant's drafting process is built to safeguard commercially meaningful protection from the outset.

Limitations

What Drafting Cannot Fix

Careful drafting is essential, but it has limits

Can't Create Novelty

Drafting can't make a genuinely non-novel invention patentable — that depends on the invention itself.

Can't Add New Matter Later

Once filed, claims generally can't be broadened to cover subject matter not originally disclosed.

Doesn't Guarantee Acceptance

Even a well-drafted specification can still face examination objections, which are addressed separately.

Requires Technical Accuracy

Drafting quality depends on accurate, complete technical input from the inventor or technical team.

Jurisdiction-Specific Nuance

Claims optimised for Brazil may need adaptation for filing in other countries.

Brealant works closely with your team throughout drafting to minimise these risks.

Careful Drafting Protects

A well-drafted specification protects

Claim Breadth

The broadest defensible scope of protection for your invention.

Fallback Positions

Narrower claims held in reserve if the broadest claims are challenged during examination.

Disclosure Sufficiency

A description detailed enough to support the claims and withstand challenge.

Commercial Relevance

Protection that actually covers how the invention will be made, used, or sold.

Brealant's attorneys balance these factors to give your application the strongest possible foundation.

Timeline for Patent Drafting in

Brazil

Drafting typically follows these stages

  • Technical Briefing

    We discuss the invention in depth with your inventors or technical team.

  • Claim Strategy

    We identify the broadest defensible claims alongside fallback positions.

  • Drafting

    We prepare the full specification, claims, and drawings.

  • Review & Finalisation

    You review the draft, and we finalise it ready for filing.

A complete patent specification typically takes 2 to 4 weeks to draft, depending on technical complexity and how quickly technical input is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I draft my own patent application?

You can, but patent specifications are technical legal documents, and poorly drafted claims are a common reason for weak or unenforceable protection.

Does Brealant draft for both invention patents and utility models?

Yes, we draft specifications for invenção (invention) patents and modelo de utilidade (utility model) applications, depending on which best fits your innovation.

Will the drafted specification work for filing in other countries too?

We can draft with international filing, including PCT, in mind, though claims are often adapted for each jurisdiction's specific requirements.

How involved do I need to be in the drafting process?

Technical input from you or your inventors is essential — we work closely with your team to make sure the specification accurately captures the invention.

How long does patent drafting take?

A complete specification typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the technical complexity of the invention.

How much does patent drafting cost in Brazil?

We quote a fixed professional fee for drafting once we've reviewed the invention's scope and technical complexity.

How is confidentiality protected during the drafting process?

We work under confidentiality obligations throughout, and can sign a separate NDA before any technical details are shared if you prefer.

Do I need formal drawings prepared for the application?

In most cases yes — clear technical drawings support the specification and are often essential for utility model and mechanical or device inventions.

How many claims should a Brazilian patent application include?

There's no fixed number; we draft an independent claim covering the core invention plus dependent claims to protect specific embodiments and fallback positions.

Who owns the rights to the drafted specification?

You do — the specification is prepared for you as the applicant, and Brealant has no ownership claim over the resulting document or invention.
