Oficina española de Patentes y Marcas

National trademarks, European Union trade mark (with legal effects in all European Union members states) and international trademarks specifying Spain as a designated country are all valid in Spain.

Users can use this service to obtain information on the national and international trademarks, trade names and business signs that are currently in forceand which meet the search criteria specified using either of the two search options (Simple or Advanced).

A simple search will return all trademarks, commercial names and signs with a name that contains the string of characters entered in the search field.

The advanced search option can be used to specify whether the returned results should contain, match or begin with the search string entered and to select the category and Nice Classification of Goods and Services class under which the signs have been registered.Especially for cases of signs that contain only graphics (no name), there is also an option to search by the Vienna Classification of Figurative Elements class.

Searches on both international classification systems can be performed on the same page, showing the corresponding results for the term entered, the product and service class or the figurative element class.

Numeric searches can also be performed for distinctive signs that are no longer in force.

All three search options are free of charge.

Firstly, the system indicates the total number of signs returned for both the national and international options and for the specified classes. It then shows a list of the applications or records found, sorted in ascending order by registration category and file number.Rejected, cancelled or expired records will not be included. The following information will be displayed for each record or application:

• Registration category (trademark = M; trade name = N; business sign = R; international trademark = H)
• Application or record number
