Does registering my company with the Junta already protect my trademark?

TF Assessor · July 07, 2026

No. These are different things. Registering your company with the Junta Comercial (Board of Trade) gives you the CNPJ and the right to operate. But that does not protect your trademark. The trademark is the name or symbol that the customer sees and recognizes. It's only protected with registration at the INPI. You can have an open company and still lose the trademark. Someone else may register it before you do. That's why both registrations are important. TF Assessor helps you do both safely.
