Agreement with the National Association of Centers and Innovative Companies (ANCES)

The Spanish Patent and Trademark Office O.A. (SPTO) and the National Association of Centers and Innovative Companies (ANCES) have signed a four-year collaboration agreement, in order to facilitate, promote and stimulate the knowledge and use of Industrial Property rights (in ahead, PI) between the members of the association, in addition to reinforcing the two-way channel of institutional communication between both entities.

This agreement, published on July 9, 2020, contemplates the implementation of joint activities related to IP.

The SPTO, among other actions, undertakes to help the training of ANCES members in this matter, holding workshops that allow them to learn about the different IP modalities, the SPTO's Technological Information services and the best protection mechanisms for the results of R&D as a result of their research. It will also support the members of the association in the processes of searching for documentation, patentability studies, patent applications and a direct information service will be provided with those responsible for IP.

Both entities will continue to cooperate in the preparation and dissemination of monographs, studies, Technological Surveillance Bulletins and reports on specific topics considered of interest to Spanish foundation companies and associations.

The ultimate goal of this strategic collaboration is to boost the competitiveness of Spanish industry in the field of innovation and its protection through Industrial Property.

The OEPM and ANCES have already been collaborating on other national and international projects, among others the project of the European Commission VIP4SMES, within the framework of the H2020 research and innovation program, which was intended to raise the awareness of companies in the European Union about the value of the intellectual capital they generate and the protection channels at their fingertips.
