Spain adopts a Fast Action Protocol for the 2017 Mobile World Congress (MWC) 

The Mobile World Congress (MWC) is the biggest gathering worldwide of the mobile communications industry, which, for some years now, is held on an annual basis in Barcelona, being one of the major fair events which the city hosts, if not the most important milestone in the city calendar every year.

This global exhibition provides for an environment where the cutting-edge technological advances and new launches within the industry are presented, including new devices, applications, software or functionalities. This, in turn, can easily give rise to intellectual property related conflicts between participating companies, not only in the patent arena, but also involving other kind of rights including –without limitation- copyrights or industrial designs.
