Spain And IP: Definitive Indicators From 2015 And First Data From 2016

Clarke, Modet & Co - SPAIN

A few days ago the SPTO (Spanish Trademark and Patent Office) published the 2015 activities report, including the first definitive data regarding Intellectual Property indicators.

It contributes little to the data that we have published over recent weeks, apart from confirming the tendencies already mentioned and providing the definitive data:

Perhaps what is most interesting, due to their novelty, are the first data regarding the first quarter of 2016¹. Unfortunately, it does not give us the change of tendency we had expected, especially as regards patents and utility models data. These have demonstrated such bad behavior over the last few years; their recovery will also be a symptom of the improvement of the very competitiveness of our economy in this area.
