Annulment of decisions regarding 'Jamón Serrano': proceedings must be rolled back to incorporate OEPM report

The Directorate General for Foodstuffs has annulled the resolutions of 21 December 2021, which had favoured the continuation of the 'Jamón Serrano' PGI registration and the annulment of the 'Jamón Serrano' TSG (Resolution of 10 July 2026). This decision follows a final ruling by the High Court of Justice of Madrid, which identified essential procedural defects. The proceedings must be rolled back to the stage prior to those resolutions to integrate and assess the report from the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (Resolution of 10 July 2026).

In 2 key points

  1. Annulment of the resolutions of 21 December 2021 due to essential procedural defects (Resolución de 10 de julio de 2026)
  2. Obligation to roll back the proceedings to provide and assess the report from the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (Resolución de 10 de julio de 2026)

How it affects those involved

For producers and entities interested in the protection of the 'Jamón Serrano' designation, the PGI registration process and the status of the TSG are in a state of technical suspension regarding the annulled decisions. The Administration must reopen the procedure to assess the OEPM report, which will result in a delay in the final resolution of the industrial property and food quality dispute (Resolution of 10 July 2026).
