In order to better serve the economic and trade exchanges between China and Spain and to assist enterprises from both countries in addressing intellectual property-related issues and concerns in the other country, the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) and the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM) have, after consultations, decided to jointly launch the CNIPA-OEPM Focal Point Mechanism pilot project.

Both CNIPA and OEPM will designate one officer each as intellectual property focal point to provide consulting services on intellectual property issues related to Chinese enterprises operating in Spain and Spanish enterprises operating in China, and to support these enterprises in obtaining effective intellectual property protection.

During the project period, Chinese enterprises with relevant inquiries may contact the CNIPA intellectual property liaison officer at the following details:

Liaison Officer: Mr. Li Ruifeng

Email: ip_support@cnipa.gov.cn

Spanish enterprises with relevant inquiries may contact the OEPM intellectual property liaison officer at the following details:

Liaison Officer: María Meseguer Velasco

Email: Maria.Meseguer@oepm.es

The CNIPA-OEPM Focal Point Mechanism pilot project runs for one year, from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027.(Translated from CNIPA Website Chinese Version)
