Name and Trade Mark Registration
National Trade Mark Registrar
Trademark Registration in Spain
Registration Procedure
The registration of a Spanish trademark is a procedure carried out through the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office.
The procedure involves submitting the application to the Spanish Patent and Trade Mark Office; after approximately fifteen days, the trade mark is published in the Official Industrial Property Gazette (BOPI); from that date, a two-month opposition period begins; once this period has elapsed, if the application has not encountered any obstacles, it will be granted by the Office.
Before submitting an application, it is advisable to carry out preliminary research to check for identical or similar names (previous applications) in order to determine the viability of the application.
Once this has been completed, if the results are favourable for proceeding with the application, you will simply need to submit a signed authorisation; and, if the trade mark includes a logo or graphic, this must be provided in jpg or pdf format.
