Trade mark invalidity and revocation proceedings to be heard by the Spanish Patent and Trade mark Office from 14 January 2023.
One of the most relevant changes brought about by the transposition of EU Directive 2015/2436 into Spanish law was that invalidity and revocation proceedings brought before the civil courts were to be exclusively heard by the Spanish Patent and Trade mark Office (SPTO).
