Trade Mark Viability Study and Prior-Rights Search
Trade Mark Viability Study and Prior-Rights Search is filed with Oficina Española de Patentes y Marcas (OEPM). With Managora you do it 100% online: you answer a few questions, sign a digital mandato (power of representation) and we draft, sign and file your application for you. Estimated total cost: €79 to €79. Official tasa (government fee): This preliminary study carries no official OEPM (Spanish Patent and Trade Mark Office) tasa (official fee). The prior-rights search is run against the OEPM's free public trade mark database, so you only pay our fee. Please note that if, after the study, you decide to register the mark, that application does carry the OEPM tasa (127,88 € for the first class when filed electronically), which we would set out for you before starting it.
We analyse whether your trade mark meets the legal requirements and whether identical or similar marks are already registered. Avoid refusals, the loss of official fees and third-party oppositions before you start the registration process.
