Elisa Arsuaga

Elisa Arsuaga is an intellectual-property partner at Santos IP, the Madrid-based industrial and intellectual-property firm known in Spain as Santos Propiedad Industrial. Under the strength of its specialist team the firm has been recognised as Intellectual Property Law Firm of the Year in Spain at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025, an award that reflects more than three decades of dedicated work protecting the intangible assets of Spanish and international clients. The recognition affirms the firm's position among the country's established names in intellectual and industrial property.

Santos IP is based in the Madrid area and has built its practice over more than thirty years, during which it has come to serve around 1,700 clients across a wide range of sectors. The firm's longevity and the scale of its client base speak to the trust it has earned in a field where continuity and reliability matter, since the protection of rights such as patents and trademarks depends on careful management over many years. Its work reaches well beyond Spain, with the firm handling matters across more than seventy-five jurisdictions and managing thousands of trademarks on behalf of its clients.

The firm's intellectual-property practice covers the full spectrum of industrial and intellectual-property protection. It advises on the registration of patents and utility models, trademarks at national, European Union and international level, industrial designs, and commercial names, and it provides broader intellectual-property consulting as well as copyright-protection services. It also assists clients with information on grants and subsidies relevant to their innovation and branding activity. This comprehensive offering allows Santos IP to act as a single adviser across the different forms of protection a business may need, from securing rights through to maintaining and enforcing them. This end-to-end capability spares clients the difficulty of coordinating separate advisers for registration, renewal and enforcement.

Santos IP's client focus is firmly oriented around service, and the firm describes its approach as wholly client-centred, tailoring its work to the needs of the businesses and innovators it represents. For companies whose value increasingly lies in their brands, inventions and designs, the firm offers the specialist knowledge required to secure those assets in Spain and abroad, coordinating protection across the many jurisdictions in which modern businesses operate. As brands and technologies are increasingly exposed to international markets, the management of trademark and patent portfolios across borders has become a central concern for businesses, and the firm's coverage of more than seventy-five jurisdictions responds directly to that need. Its long experience and broad international coverage make it a natural choice for clients seeking dependable, expert management of their intellectual-property portfolios.

As an intellectual-property partner, Elisa Arsuaga contributes to the specialist expertise that underpins the firm's recognition, working within a practice whose reputation rests on decades of focused industrial and intellectual-property work. Her role places her among the professionals responsible for guiding clients through the registration, protection and management of their rights across Spain and the wider world. The naming of Santos IP as Intellectual Property Law Firm of the Year in Spain at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 recognises the firm's depth of specialism, the breadth of its international coverage, and the client-focused approach that partners such as Elisa Arsuaga bring to the protection of intellectual and industrial property.
