If you register just one design, the application fee in Spain in 2025 is €66.27 if submitted electronically and €77.96 if submitted in person. You must also consider additional fees for multiple designs, division, certifications, Community designs, or international registration.

Youcan check all updated rates at the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM).

It’s also important to consider the application of Law 20/2003, of July 7, on the Legal Protection of Industrial Design. Note that an unregistered design, once publicly disclosed, has automatic protection for 3 years in the European Union — but this does not offer the same legal certainty as a registered design. It’s only recommended for businesses operating in sectors with short product life cycles, such as fashion or small tech.
