Toute entreprise passera par plusieurs étapes durant sa période d’activité. Ainsi, la transmission d’une entreprise constituera l’une de ces étapes et demeurera fondamentale. Celle-ci pourra se produire tout simplement à travers une vente mais également comme conséquence du décès du chef d’entreprise.
There are some things that are not inventions, and therefore not patentable (for example discoveries, scientific theories, mathematical methods, literary and artistic works or any other aesthetic creation, as well as scientific works, the plans, rules and methods for games, for the exercise of intellectual or economic/commercial activities, or computer programs – although there are software inventions that can be patented –and the ways of presenting information).
A patent or a utility model processed by the OEPM only gives protection in Spain. If you wish to obtain protection abroad, it is possible to extend the patent or utility model application to other countries in the world by presenting the corresponding patent or utility model applications (where they exist – if they do exist, they do not have to have the same characteristics as the Spanish utility models, although the names may coincide).
The Spanish economy is currently one of the most dynamic in the Eurozone with more than 3% GDP growth. This recovery marks a progressive exit from the recent years’ crisis, and thankfully the real estate market is following a similar trend.
To obtain a Spanish patent you must submit the corresponding patent application to the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM). The documentation of the application includes a report that consists of a description of the invention, claims (which define the protection provided by the patent granted) and, where appropriate, some drawing to illustrate the invention.
A blockchain is essentially a record or ledger of digital events. It refers to a distributed database that is shared between many different parties. It can only be updated, never erased, unless agreed to by the majority of the participants.
The fact that a patent is granted does not necessarily mean that it is valid. Third parties can always urge its total or partial nullity in court.
Moreover, a patent is not a manufacturing license (it might happen, for example, that a pharmaceutical product is patented, but has not yet been launched on the market because it has not yet obtained the corresponding authorization from the health authorities), but it should rather be seen as the right to exclude others from making, offering, introducing into trade, or using its object.
In Spain, there are particular products that have a specific legislation to regulate its advertisements. These products are usually in highly demand and therefore it is even more necessary for there to be regulations that control the advertisement of these goods or services.
