New Patent Law in Force Soon


The new Patent Law 24/2015 will come into force on April 1, 2017, for all Spanish patent and utility model applications filed as of this date. Patents and utility models applied for on previous dates will not be affected by the provisions of the new law.

Among the most remarkable changes, a mandatory substantive examination of patentability is introduced and a 50% discount will be applied on most fees in the case of SMEs and entrepreneurs.
