Foreign Affairs
These relationships have helped to build up a highly reliable international network, enabling us to offer our clients excellent support beyond our borders – not only in the strict sense of industrial property, but also in commercial and business matters.
Our Staff
Our team comprises engineers, economists, chemists and lawyers who have extensive experience in the sector. We utilise the latest technological advances in our work, which enables us to offer our clients a remarkably fast turnaround; for example, it is even possible to file a European patent application within a few hours.
Online Connections
As we are connected online to the main national patent and trade mark offices in every country, as well as to the most relevant databases, we are also able to provide search results within a very short timeframe, enabling our clients to make decisions just as quickly.
Important Professional Note
Firstly, we would like to emphasise that all our services are provided by highly experienced Industrial Property Agents who are duly registered with the Official Association of Industrial Property Agents and listed in the relevant register at the Spanish Patent and Trade Mark Office, a body under the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade.
This means that we not only possess the necessary qualifications and adhere to the profession’s code of ethics, but we also hold the required guarantees and statutory public liability insurance.
Be wary of so-called ‘representatives’, ‘agents’ and similar titles, as these do not exist under the current Trade Marks Act (Act 17/2001). To view the list of Official Agents, visit www.oepm.es
Our calling card is our own name; we do not hide our identity behind well-known brands or acronyms.
