Brazilian GIs Landscape: From the TRIPS Commitments to the Real World, What Was Achieved, What Is Yet to be Faced?
After 25 years of the TRIPS Agreement, it is time to look at the Brazilian GI system and how it has developed since its establishment.

The article analyses the Brazilian GI journey from TRIPS to today's framework, and points out the challenges that are yet to be faced at domestic, regional and international level.
