Back-office System for Designs Enhanced


On April 5, 2021, the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO) completed a new set of improvements to its back-office system for designs. These were implemented with the support of the EUIPO’s European cooperation projects.

Several examination processes were automated in order reduce potential delays and prevent errors in manual data entry. Two of the improvements especially stand out: The electronic signature is now used in the Design Certificate. This will increase cybersecurity and avoid possible fraudulent notifications and phishing attempts. The second significant improvement is a function that automates notifications to WIPO in the case of oppositions.
