The SPTO declares ten industrial designs by CHUSTONE 1.983 expired

The Spanish Patent and Trademark Office, O.A. (OEPM) has declared the expiration due to lack of renewal of ten registered industrial designs in the name of CHUSTONE 1.983, S.L.U., as stated in the Official Gazette of Industrial Property (BOPI), Volume III of Industrial Designs, number 7233, dated September 8, 2026. The resolution was recorded on September 1, 2026, and is included under the official reference CVE-BOPI-T3-20260908-00000009.

The expiration occurs because the registrations were not renewed within the legal timeframe, which entails the loss of registration protection for the affected models. This action is framed within Law 20/2003, of July 7, on the Legal Protection of Industrial Design, which regulates the regime for the renewal and maintenance of design rights.

Affected registrations

The ten expired designs correspond to the application series D 0522639, variants 01 through 10, all in the name of CHUSTONE 1.983, S.L.U., with José Andrés Chust Garriel as the representative. The date of registration of the modification in the Registry is September 1, 2026.

Effects and appeals

The declaration of expiration implies that the designs enter the public domain and cease to enjoy the exclusivity granted by the registration, meaning they can be used freely by third parties. However, the resolution is not final in administrative proceedings: an administrative appeal (recurso de alzada) may be filed against it within one month before the Director of the OEPM.

The loss of protection due to lack of renewal is a frequent occurrence in the field of industrial property and affects both the exclusivity of exploitation and the possibility of taking action against unauthorized uses.

Relevance for holders

The publication of the expiration in the BOPI has effects against third parties and serves as a notice to all industrial design holders regarding the importance of adhering to renewal deadlines. Failure to pay or request renewal in a timely and proper manner leads to the automatic extinction of the right, without the need for an additional express declaration beyond the one now published.
