The SPTO at the Book Fair

The duplicates of the SPTO Historical Archive illustrations had a record of sales

As our Bulletin readers already know, the SPTO has among its purposes the mission of spreading Technology Information and disseminating the role of Industrial and Intellectual Property. Many actions are undertaken in this sense but perhaps this is one of our favourites because of the direct contact with visitors: this year the SPTO placed its own stand at the Madrid Book Fair for the third time. In this 78th edition of the Fair, held between May 31st and June 16th, 2.3 million visits were registered, in other words, the attendance increased by 4.5% regarding the previous year.

During this crowded meeting, the SPTO stand offered for sale 20 publications whose nature varied from legal to historical or formative. Even if all they had a good reception, the bestsellers were ‘Patentes de Invención de Don Leonardo Torres Quevedo’ (‘Invention Patents by Mr. Leonardo Torres Quevedo’) and ‘200 años de Patentes’ (‘200 years of Patents’). In addition, 30 different illustration models (on A4 and A3 format) that reproduced some Trademarks, Patents and Invention Rights treasured at the SPTO Historical Archive since 1826 were on sale. We can proudly say that more than 1,000 copies of them were sold, this record of sales gives visibility to the whole SPTO and not just to its Historical Archive, making it become more accessible through a direct and more effective communication with users.

From our Office we would like to thank the excellent job done by the more than 60 SPTO public employees who voluntarily took care of the stand and the impeccable logistical job done by the staff of our headquarters who was in charge of all the preparations.

If you want to take a look of our presence at the fair in images, you can find the ‘Madrid Book Fair 2019’ album on the SPTO facebook account.

Lastly, we would like to highlight that although the Fair is already ended, the publications and most of the illustrations and products of the SPTO Historical Archive Shop are available for sale at our website, where is possible to pay with a credit card.
