The Spanish Patents and Trade Mark Office (OEPM) is an office based on excellence. During the modernisation process undertaken by the OEPM in recent years in a bid to become a ‘paperless office’, it is worth highlighting the effort made in relation to investing resources in developing the website , from which all OEPM procedures can be accessed. In addition, since December 2013, it has been possible to pay for certain procedures by credit or debit card in order to facilitate the process for users.
