なし

国際公開に基づく仮保護

国内特許を目的とする指定の場合:

After a patent has been granted, the applicant is entitled to reasonable compensation for the period following the international publication of the international application. For that purpose, and if the international publication has not been effected in Spanish, the applicant must submit to the Office a translation of the international application into Spanish. The provisional protection applies as from the date of publication of the international application in Spanish by the Office.

欧州特許を目的とする指定の場合:

After the international publication (if in Spanish) or, where that publication was in a language other than Spanish, after the publication by the Office of a translation into Spanish of the claims of the European patent application submitted by the applicant in view of provisional protection and accompanied by a special fee, compensation reasonable in the circumstances may be requested. The translation of the claims into Spanish cannot be filed before the international application has entered the European regional phase and the mention of the international publication has been published in the European Patent Bulletin. If the applicant does not reside in Spain or in a country of the European Union, the translation must be either prepared by a patent attorney entitled to practice before the Office, or certified by a sworn translator appointed by the Ministry of External Affairs of Spain. In addition, persons who declare to have linguistic and technical knowledge in accordance with the Ministerial Order ETU/320/2018 of March 26, 2018 may also prepare the translation

This requirement may be satisfied if the corresponding declaration has been made in accordance with PCT Rule 4.17.

Appointment of an agent if the applicant is not resident in Spain or in another country of the European Union

The procedure in the national Phase

ES.01 FORM FOR ENTERING THE NATIONAL PHASE

The Office has available a form for entering the national phase (refer to Annex ES.II) and strongly recommends the use of this form.

ES.02 TRANSLATION (CORRECTION)

Errors in the translation of the international application can be corrected with reference to the text of the international application as filed (refer to National Phase, paragraphs NP 6.002 and NP 6.003).

ES.03 FEES (MANNER OF PAYMENT)

SPL Art. 184

The manner of payment of the fees indicated in the Summary and in this Chapter is outlined in Annex ES.I.

ES.04 APPOINTMENT OF AN AGENT

SPL Art. 175,

SRD Art. 108

An agent must be appointed by filing a power of attorney if the applicant is not resident in Spain or in a country of the European Union. However, the submission of a separate power of attorney or a copy of a general power of attorney is not required, except in case of reasonable doubt regarding the agent’s entitlement to act; upon appointment of, or for any paper submitted by, an agent who was not indicated in the request form at the time of filing; or when filing an assignment, a change in the name of the applicant or the proprietor of the patent, a license, a withdrawal, a limitation or revocation or an opposition to a patent or to a utility model. A model of power of attorney is given in Annex ES.III.

ES.05 ANNUAL FEES

SPL Art. 184,

SPL Art. 185

After a patent has been granted, a fee must be paid for maintaining the patent in force. Payment must be made for the third, and each following year after the international filing date which has expired at the time of granting the patent, within three months after publication in the Industrial Property Bulletin of a mention of the grant of the patent. Payment of the subsequent annual fees must be made within three months after the due date, namely the expiration of the month containing the anniversary of the international filing date. Payment can still be made, together with a 25% surcharge, within three months or, together with a 50% surcharge, before the expiration of the sixth month after the due date. Once the sixth month has expired, the patent may still be maintained in force by paying, before the due date for the next annual fee, the corresponding fee with a 50% surcharge and the regularization fee. The amounts of the annual fees are indicated in Annex ES.I.

ES.06 DEED OF ASSIGNMENT

SRD Art. 101

When the applicant claims the priority of an earlier application filed by an applicant who is not identical with the applicant of the international application, a deed (or deeds) of assignment must be furnished. For details, refer to the sample of such deed (not an official form) in Annex ES.III. Legalization is not required. For time limits, refer to the Summary. When the applicant is not the inventor, it is sufficient to designate the inventor and to indicate how the applicant acquired the right to the patent. Where the applicant uses the form for national phase entry, it is not necessary to submit a deed of assignment with regard to the applicant’s entitlement to claim priority of the earlier application as that form contains a statement in this regard (refer to Box 6 of form for national phase entry (Annex ES.II)).

ES.07 AMENDMENT OF THE APPLICATION

SPL Art. 48,

SRD Art. 101.2(e),

PCT Article 28,

PCT Article 41

The applicant may amend or correct the claims, the description, and the drawings before the grant of a patent according to the provisions of the law, provided the scope of the subject matter of the application does not go beyond the disclosure in the international application as filed. Any request for amendment is subject to the payment of a fee for modification indicated in Annex ES.I.

SPL Art. 44,

SPL Art. 54,

Within the same one-month time limit, a fee for petition must be paid (for the amount, refer to Annex ES.I).

A request for reestablishment must be filed with the Office in writing and the omitted act must be completed. The request must state the grounds on which it is based and must set out the facts to which it refers. If the Office refuses the reestablishment of rights, an administrative appeal may be lodged within one month after the publication of the final decision of the Office in the Industrial Property Bulletin. Nevertheless, certain matters are excluded from the reestablishment of rights. Time limits may be extended for two months by the Office provided that the request for extension is made before the expiration of the time limit. Any proceeding whose time limit falls on a Saturday, a Sunday or a public holiday will be considered fulfilled in due time if it is done on the first working day following that Saturday, Sunday or public holiday.
