Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process for filing a trademark in Spain?

The OEPM will then examine the application for compliance with legal requirements and existing trademarks.
What documents are required to file a trademark in Spain?
To file a trademark in Spain, you need to submit a completed application form, a clear representation of the trademark (e.g., a logo or name), a list of goods or services categorized under the Nice Classification, and proof of payment of the application fee.
Can I file a trademark application online in Spain?
Yes, you can file a trademark application online through the OEPM’s website. The online system allows you to submit all required documents and pay the application fee electronically.
What are the fees associated with filing a trademark in Spain?
The fees for filing a trademark in Spain vary depending on the type and number of classes of goods or services. As of 2023, the basic fee for a single-class trademark application is approximately €125, with additional fees for each extra class.
How long does it take to get a trademark registered in Spain?

If your trademark application is opposed by another party, you will have the opportunity to respond to the opposition. The OEPM will review both sides' arguments and make a decision. If the opposition is upheld, your application may be refused or require modification.

A registered trademark in Spain lasts for ten years from the date of filing. It can be renewed indefinitely for additional ten-year periods, provided the renewal fees are paid and the trademark continues to be used in commerce.

Filing a Trademark Application in Spain- A Step-by-Step Guide to Protect Your Brand

 

Trademark filing is a crucial step for businesses seeking to protect their brand identity and intellectual property. In Spain, the process of trademark registration is overseen by the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM). Understanding the nuances of trademark filing in Spain can help businesses secure their trademarks effectively and avoid potential legal disputes.

Understanding Trademark Filing in Spain

In Spain, a trademark is a sign capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one enterprise from those of other enterprises. This can include words, logos, symbols, and even sounds. Registering a trademark grants the owner exclusive rights to use it in connection with the goods or services for which it is registered, thereby providing legal protection against unauthorized use by others.

Key Steps to File a Trademark Application in Spain

  • Conduct a Preliminary Search: Before filing, it is advisable to conduct a trademark search to ensure that your proposed mark does not conflict with existing trademarks. This can be done through the OEPM’s online database.
  • Prepare the Application: The application must include the applicant's details, a clear representation of the trademark, and a list of goods or services to be covered by the trademark.
  • Submit the Application: Applications can be submitted online via the OEPM website or in person at the OEPM offices. The official fees must be paid at the time of filing.
  • Examination and Publication: Once submitted, the OEPM examines the application to ensure it meets all legal requirements. If the application passes this examination, it is published in the Official Bulletin of Industrial Property for a two-month opposition period.
  • Opposition and Registration: If no oppositions are filed, or if any oppositions are resolved in favor of the applicant, the trademark is registered, and a registration certificate is issued.

The Importance of a Well-Prepared Application in Spain

A well-prepared trademark application is essential for a smooth registration process. Incomplete or incorrect applications can lead to delays, additional costs, or even rejection. Detailed and accurate information helps avoid conflicts with existing trademarks and ensures the protection of the applicant’s rights. Engaging a professional with expertise in Spanish trademark law can significantly enhance the chances of successful registration, thereby safeguarding the brand’s identity and value in the competitive marketplace.
