Official tasa (government fee): The OEPM (Oficina Espanola de Patentes y Marcas, the Spanish patent and trademark office) tasa (official fee) is not a single figure: each annuity costs more than the one before, from 18.85 euros for the third to 499.85 euros for the twentieth, and SMEs and individual entrepreneurs pay half on the first three. That is why it is not included in the price: we check which annuity falls due in the OEPM's current fee table and confirm the amount to you in writing before you pay. If the deadline has already passed, the OEPM also adds a surcharge of 25 or 50 per cent.
Ensure the validity of your inventions by paying the official annual maintenance fee on time. We handle the payment of the annuity before the OEPM (Spanish Patent and Trademark Office), calculating deadlines and potential surcharges, to prevent your patent or utility model from expiring and entering the public domain.
