GENERAL OVERVIEW

Market operators require comprehensive services in the areas of Intellectual and Industrial Property, unfair competition, and unlawful advertising, including both administrative procedures and judicial defence before Spanish and European Union courts.

At AC&G Legal Advisors, we provide expert support at every stage of the intellectual property rights lifecycle: from clearance and registration procedures before national and international authorities, to legal advice on all types of contractual matters, such as assignments, licences, coexistence agreements, distribution, franchising, and technology transfer.

TRADE MARKS

Registered trade marks are a key strategic asset. They add value, identity, and differentiation. We advise our clients on defining the best strategy for registering, defending, monitoring, and managing their trademark portfolios, ensuring effective and lasting legal protection.

PATENTS

We provide comprehensive services in patents and utility models. From strategic planning and technical-legal advice to the acquisition and defence of rights, we help clients maximise the commercial value of their technical inventions in Spain, Europe, and beyond.

COUNTERFEITING AND PIRACY

We act against counterfeiting and piracy through civil, criminal and customs enforcement actions. We work closely with the relevant authorities to detect, seize, and destroy illegal goods, both nationally and within the European Union’s control mechanisms.

We represent clients who own internationally renowned trademarks, assisting them from the early stages -such as filing generic and preventive protection requests with Customs authorities-, throughout the entire process until its completion.

We regularly take part in organizing training sessions for law enforcement agencies to ensure they are informed about emerging forms of infringement, both in the physical world and in the digital space, including the internet and social media platforms.

COPYRIGHT

We offer specialised legal advice on copyright, including licensing, contracts, enforcement, and defence of rights. Our approach is up to date, combining the protection of creators with compliance with applicable regulatory frameworks and interoperability with other intellectual property rights.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

We provide legal assistance in information technology law, covering intellectual property protection, domain names, privacy and data protection, e-commerce compliance, and the development of online business models, in line with current Spanish and European regulations.

GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS AND PLANT VARIETIES

Spain has a leading agri-food sector in Europe. In this context, our team offers specialised services for the registration and defence of rights over plant varieties, protected geographical indications (PGIs), and designations of origin (DOs), both before national and European authorities.

UNFAIR COMPETITION AND MISLEADING ADVERTISING

We protect our clients’ interests against acts of unfair competition and misleading advertising, especially those that breach the principles of good faith, distort the market, or exploit others’ reputation unfairly. Our approach combines administrative and judicial action in accordance with the applicable legal framework.

FRANCHISING, DISTRIBUTION AND AGENCY AGREEMENTS, LICENSING

Our extensive experience in contractual matters related to intangible assets allows us to advise clients on the design of strategies, as well as the drafting and negotiation of distribution, agency and licensing agreements involving both distinctive signs (trademarks) and inventions.

We also provide support in cases of potential contractual breaches, offering both out-of-court and judicial solutions tailored to each specific situation.

ARBITRATION

AC&G’s lawyers bring decades of experience in both domestic and international arbitration, having participated in cases of significant global impact and legal complexity.
