Trademark protection is of fundamental importance; however, in Brazil, there is a gap between the opening of new companies and the filing of trademark applications. Vale do Taquari reflects the national scenario, with a much higher rate of new companies opened compared to registered trademarks. Thus, the general objective of the present study is to highlight ways of stimulating the registration and protection of trademarks in companies in Vale do Taquari? In order to answer the question, we seek to examine how the brands of the companies linked to CIC Vale do Taquari are found, together with the INPI; as well as to identify the causes of the gap between the opening of companies and the low adherence to the registration of their trademarks. Thus, with the survey carried out, the aim is to create an institutional policy aimed at CIC Vale do Taquari, with the availability of a booklet aimed at the associated entrepreneurs themselves. As expected results, we seek to promote the issue of trademark registration in Vale do Taquari, raising awareness and the respective increase in the protection of trademarks of companies in the Valley
