The SPTO receives an award for its fight against counterfeiting at the Global Anti-Counterfeiting Awards 2025The SPTO receives an award for its fight against counterfeiting at the Global Anti-Counterfeiting Awards 2025 The Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO) has received the Global Anti-Counterfeiting Award 2025 in the National Public Body category for its role in the legal protection of intangible assets and for promoting an environment of trust for entrepreneurs and companies. In addition, the jury highlighted the role played by the Office in the fight against piracy and counterfeiting, actively collaborating with customs authorities to prevent the entry of products that infringe industrial property Rights (IPR). The SPTO's contribution to the internationalization of Spanish trademarks and its commitment to digitization to facilitate access to its services for any citizen or company was also recognized. These awards are given by the Global Anti-Counterfeiting Group (GACG), the international network of national and regional IP protection and enforcement organizations covering more than 15 countries. Its members are non-profit associations of IP rights holders and representatives whose main objectives are to coordinate their international activities, share best practices and information, and participate in joint activities to address international challenges in the enforcement of intellectual and industrial property rights. Representatives of the Association for the Defense of Trademarks (ANDEMA), which currently holds the vice-presidency of GACG, have expressed their satisfaction that, of the five categories in the 24th edition of these international awards, two have been awarded to Spanish organizations. According to the director general of ANDEMA: “The work carried out by the SPTO goes beyond its obligation to support businesses and promote IP. It has demonstrated its effort and contribution in creating a state of opinion and the right conditions to lay the foundations for a society that is responsible for protecting innovation, creations and, consequently, the future of industry and the economy.” More information: https://stopfalsificaciones.oepm.es/index.html
