EXAME DE MÉRITO:
Ante ao fato de que o Registro de Desenho Industrial é automaticamente concedido, portanto, sem exame de originalidade, é recomendado ao seu titular requerer o exame do objeto do registro, a qualquer tempo da vigência, quanto aos aspectos de novidade e de originalidade, a fim de obter-se o pronunciamento oficial por parte do INPI...

substantive examination
Explanation:
[...] applications filed with the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (BPTO) raises an issue that has been in discussion for some time: its enormous backlog, that is to say, the huge number of patent applications that have been filed but not yet undergone substantive examination.dannemann.com.brdannemann.com.br [...]

no depósito de pedidos de patente no Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial (INPI) traz à pauta um assunto que vem sendo discutido há tempos: o gigantesco backlog, ou seja, a enorme quantidade de pedidos de patentes depositados ainda não submetidos ao exame de mérito

In addition, an optional substantive examination may be requested at any time during the term, only by the owner, to obtain an official BPTO opinion as to the legal requirements on novelty and originality. dannemann.com.brdannemann.com.br

Além disso, um exame de mérito opcional pode ser requerido a qualquer tempo da vigência apenas pelo titular, com vistas à obtenção de uma opinião oficial do INPI quanto aos requisitos legais [...] dannemann.com.brdannemann.com.br

The substantive examination of European patent applications includes the examination of patentability of the claimed invention,[44] i.e. whether the invention is not excluded as unpatentable subject-matter by policy,[45] whether the invention is new,[46] involves an inventive step,[47] and is susceptible of industrial application.[48] In addition, the invention must be sufficiently disclosed in the application,[49] and the claims must be clear and concise.[50]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_prosecution
In some jurisdictions, substantive examination of patent applications is not routinely carried out. Instead, the validity of invention registrations is dealt with during any infringement action.

Some jurisdictions including Bermuda, South Africa, and Germany (in the case of Gebrauchsmusters (utility model)) go one step further, in that an application is passed to issue and publication as an enforceable patent in short order, with no substantive examination.
