    How long

    From the free check to your Spain certificate.

    Most Spain trademarks move on the OEPM's standard timeline. Here is what to expect.

    1. Within 24 to 48 hours

      Free lawyer's check

      We search the OEPM's register. An attorney tells you plainly whether the name is clear to file.

    2. Week 1

      Drafting and filing

      We draft your goods and services, classify them under Nice and file with the OEPM.

    3. After filing

      Examination and publication

      The OEPM examines your mark and publishes it for the opposition window, watched by us.

    4. On acceptance

      Registration certificate

    5. Every 10 years

      Renewal tracked

      We diary the renewal deadline and remind you a year ahead, so your protection never lapses.

    Filing in Spain

    Why filing in Spain is different.

    The rules that change how we search, draft and file for you. We handle every one of them.

    1

    First-to-file under Ley 17/2001

    Whoever applies at OEPM first owns the priority right. Spain recognises some prior-use defences in narrow cases, but the safer strategy is to file early.

    2

    Spanish-language descriptiveness analysis

    OEPM examiners assess distinctiveness in Spanish. A mark that's distinctive in English can be descriptive in Spanish translation. Pre-filing screening catches this before you spend €132.04.

    3

    Hispanic-market gateway

    A registered Spanish trade mark supports brand protection across the entire Spanish-speaking world via Madrid Protocol designations and prior-rights opposition strategies in Latin American jurisdictions.

    4

    EU-route vs national-route decision

    EUTMs cover all 27 EU states (including Spain) for €850. A direct Spanish filing makes sense when other EU member states have blockers or when you want a fully independent national right.

    Your attorney runs the check, the drafting and every letter from the OEPM with you, from the first search to the certificate and the renewal ten years on.

    Before you file

    Why Spain applications get refused, and how the free check helps.

    Conflict with an earlier mark (Article 6, Ley 17/2001)

    about 28%

    An earlier identical or similar Spanish or EUTM right covers identical or similar goods. A pre-filing OEPM + EUTM clearance search catches this before you spend €132.04.

    Lack of distinctive character (Article 5(1)(b))

    about 24%

    The mark is generic, descriptive, or non-distinctive in Spanish. Counsel argues acquired distinctiveness or refines the specification.

    Descriptive or laudatory in Spanish (Article 5(1)(c))

    about 14%

    The mark describes a kind, quality, intended purpose, or origin in Spanish. Strict Spanish-language examination. Your API drafts to clear this bar.

    Public-policy or deceptive marks (Article 5(1)(f)-(g))

    about 8%

    Includes marks contrary to public policy, deceptive marks, and protected official insignia. We screen for these at intake.
