GA_P in the #TOP5 of law firms on LinkedIn
13 April, 2021
LinkedIn is the preferred social network for law firms, for several reasons, among them, its “markedly professional character and its moderate tone”, which makes it a comfortable scenario where firms and lawyers can develop and perform an informative as well as corporate work of their day to day. “With 740 million users worldwide, of which 13 million are in Spain, it is not surprising that LinkedIn represents an opportunity and a ‘must’ within most communication strategies of law firms.
In words of Sandra Cuesta Llerandi, Head of Business Development, Marketing and Communication at Gómez-Acebo & Pombo, LinkedIn is nothing more than “a very useful tool to support internal communication, to keep the entire firm informed and to transmit the corporate spirit to those who are at a distance”, since in her case, the content published by the Firm is mostly press appearances, operations, business and pro bono initiatives, as well as academic publications, giving special importance to the format, design and image with which they launch their communications. “We try to keep our content as dynamic as we are able, avoiding rigid designs, in order to keeup up the attention and differentiate ourselves from other firms,” Sandra emphasizes.

Notarial enforcement of pledges. Is Article 1872 of the Civil Code mandatory? In what sense?
The clause agreed upon must comply, for greater certainty, with the provisions of the new judicial enforcement procedure. It will be necessary to agree on an appraised value, which is not required in Article 1872 CC, because otherwise the award would be similar to a ‘forfeiture proviso’ (pactum commissorium), which the Civil Code neutralised with the drastic imposition of extinguishment of the debt in its entirety.

Jurisdiction of national courts of States party to the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court in respect of actions relating to classic European patents during the transitional period
During the transitional period of the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court, national courts retain jurisdiction to hear cases concerning classic European patents, without the need for the proprietor to have exercised the opt-out option, i.e. without the need to have excluded the jurisdiction of the Unified Patent Court over such patents. However, the Venice Court ruling discussed here considers that national courts may only be used if the opt-out has been exercised, contradicting the provisions of Article 83 of the Agreement.

Incompatibility between practising a healthcare profession and having a pecuniary interest in the manufacture or sale of medicinal products or medical devices
Royal Legislative Decree 1/2015, of 24 July, approving the recast version of the Medicinal Products and Medical Devices (Guarantees and Rational Use) Act, prohibits healthcare professionals with prescribing powers from having a direct pecuniary interest in activities related to medicines. This prohibition does not extend to indirect interests, as distinguished in Article 4 of said legislative decree. Judgment no. 483/2025 of the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country concludes that mere membership of a group of companies does not entail incompatibility if each entity retains real autonomy.

Excessive extension of the Bolar clause in the 'pharmaceutical legislative package'
The Bolar clause allows studies and trials necessary to obtain marketing authorisations for medicinal products to be carried out without infringing patents. Its scope has grown during the passage of the pharmaceutical legislative package, incorporating more actors and more activities, to include participation in public tenders before the patent expires. This extension raises questions about compatibility with the TRIPS Agreement, which only allows limited exceptions to patent rights. Participation in tenders could be considered an offer to sell, thus violating the limits set by that agreement.
