Online Trademark Registration
We are excited to offer a new, streamlined service for trademark registration in Spain and the EU, allowing clients to easily submit applications through our digital platform. This service is designed to simplify the trademark registration process while keeping costs lower than traditional methods.
Important Considerations for a Successful Registration:
Trademark Availability:
Our system does not include a prior search in existing trademark databases to check the availability or registrability of your trademark. Therefore, if you are unsure whether your proposed mark is new or distinct, we strongly recommend conducting a preliminary search before filing.
This search can help you avoid unnecessary costs and ensure that your trademark will not face objections or conflicts with existing marks.
If you’d like our firm to conduct this search for you, please reach out for assistance.
Distinctiveness of the Trademark:
Your trademark must be distinctive and capable of differentiating your goods or services from others in the marketplace. Generic or descriptive terms may face objections during registration.
Correct Classification:
Selecting the right Nice Class is critical to ensure your trademark is protected in the relevant sectors. Misclassification could limit the protection of your brand.
International Registration:
If your business plans to operate outside of Spain or the EU, it’s important to consider international trademark registration early on. We can assist you with the Madrid System or other international filings upon request.
Benefits of using our service:
Cost-Effective: Lower fees due to our automated system.
Timesaving: Quick and easy to file a trademark without needing to go through manual processes.
Professional Oversight: While automated, the system is backed by our legal expertise to ensure compliance with local IP regulations.
By following this guide, you’ll be able to complete your trademark registration smoothly and efficiently. For any additional questions, please feel free to contact us directly for personalized support.
Step-by-Step Guide for Using the Service:
Select Your Trademark Type
Nominative (word mark) or Figurative (logo mark).
For other trademark types (e.g., sound, color, multimedia), please contact us via email, as these require specialized handling.
Indicate Priority
If your trademark claims priority from an earlier application, you will be prompted to enter the details. Priority can help secure earlier filing dates in multiple jurisdictions.
Choose Your Jurisdiction
Select either Spain or the European Union for trademark registration.
If you need protection beyond these territories, contact us, and we will guide you through the international application process.
Ownership Information
Indicate whether the trademark owner is a Spanish citizen or not. This will impact how VAT is calculated in your registration fees.
Select Classes Under the Nice Classification
Use the Nice Classification system to choose the relevant classes (product or service categories) under which you wish to register your trademark. Up to 45 classes are available, and selecting the right class is essential for protecting your brand in the right industry.
Review and Confirm Fees
Once all required fields are filled in, the system will automatically calculate the fees for your registration.
Note: This service offers a lower cost compared to manual registration due to the automated process.
Personal Information and Power of Attorney
Fill in your personal details or company information.
In cases that merit it, you can also provide a power of attorney to allow our firm to file the application on your behalf.
Payment
Make secure payments through PayPal or credit card for the total calculated amount. Once payment is completed, we will immediately begin the filing process.
