With the constant objective of the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO) to provide better service to users of the Industrial Property system by promoting digital administration, as of June 16 the possibility of payment by bank card has been implemented at more than eighty additional fees, corresponding to procedures that can be made through our Electronic Office.

The rates benefited by this new measure will be gradually incorporated into the different types of Industrial Property, in the following order: Distinctive Signs, Industrial Designs, Inventions.

For the modalities of Trademarks and Commercial Names the rates that can be paid by card from June 16 will be the following:

The fees corresponding to paperwork, and those related to maintenance of inventions, will be excluded from payment by card. It should be remembered that the fees paid for procedures performed electronically have a reduction of 15%.

We trust that this measure will be of help to our users.
