\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIntellectual property, particularly copyright, is also specifically addressed in a dedicated section of our journal Comunicaciones<\/em>, through which we seek to analyse and monitor the most significant developments in this field.

The distinction between industrial property and intellectual property under Spanish law does not exist in the same form in English, where the broader term intellectual property<\/em> encompasses both categories. For this reason, CEFI’s English-language website does not make this distinction and uses the term intellectual property<\/em> throughout.

We analyse legal developments, legislative reforms and case law, and work towards ensuring effective protection of patents and trademarks.

We conduct legal studies and prepare reports, publications, courses and seminars, dedicating a substantial part of our institutional activities to this objective.

We monitor developments in intellectual property at both national and European levels, analyse their legal implications and disseminate our findings with the aim of contributing to more effective protection of intellectual property rights.

We disseminate intellectual property-related content partly through our specialist journals: Comunicaciones en Propiedad Intelectual y Derecho de la Competencia<\/em><\/strong>, which includes a dedicated section on intellectual property, and Cuadernos de Derecho Farmac\u00e9utico<\/em><\/strong>, in which we address current intellectual property issues of relevance to the pharmaceutical sector, from both doctrinal and case-law perspectives.

To support this work, we collaborate with leading intellectual property experts who combine extensive theoretical knowledge with practical experience and contribute their expertise to our analyses.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
