How can we reclaim the damage?

We have to have in mind that, the more time the behaviour takes place, the bigger the damage. That is why it is important to communicate the illicit behaviour to our legal counsel as soon as we have knowledge of this behaviour.

Intellectual property, patents, and brands

Industrial property is a group of exclusive rights that a person can have over an invention, an industrial design, or over a distinctive sign. These rights must be protected from third parties, which is why it is necessary to have the exclusive right over the asset.

Why is registration necessary?

In Spain, there are various types of industrial property rights, each of which have their own legislation, granted by the competent body.

• The distinctive signs that belong to brands and commercial names.
• Patents and inventions.
• Industrial designs that refer to the external appearance of a product.

For an exclusive right to be born over any of these industrial properties, a registration has to be done. This registration is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended benefit from the numerous advantages that the industrial property provides.
