It's my pleasure to present the first issue of this electronic monthly magazine, edited by the OEPM, the Organization that I have the honor of presiding.
In this new stage, the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade has committed to promoting a policy of communication, transparency and support to Spanish companies. The OEPM, as an independent organization of the Ministry, has made this policy its own and has included it as part of its strategic plan.
Innovation, efficiency and proximity. These are the objectives of the electronic bulletin of the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM); a monthly publication that aims at offering citizens and companies useful information of interest on the Industrial Property system in Spain.
Since the decade of the 1980's, when the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM) acted as a pioneer in replacing paper document registration with that of electronic registration, the organization has been continuously committed to this format by means of several measures.
In June of 2008 the Council of Ministers approved an Administrative Workload Reduction and Regulation Improvement Plan, whose objective is to reduce official procedures involved in certain activities and to contribute to the competitiveness and productivity of Spanish companies.
The Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM) has initiated a Strategic Plan for the 2008-2009 period with the objective of having access to a Management tool that enables progress to be made in the current setting.
Now that the year 2008 has ended, it's now possible to perform a calculation on the applications presented at the OEPM for various modalities of Industrial Property.
