What Baylos does

Baylos (legal entity BAYLOS 5.0 LEGAL ADVISORS, S.L.) is a Madrid-headquartered intellectual and industrial property law firm operating from a single disclosed office at C/José Lázaro Galdiano 6, 28036 Madrid, Spain. The firm delivers a full-spectrum IP practice spanning trademarks, patents, industrial designs, plant varieties, geographical indications, legaltech/IT, franchises and licensing, copyright and entertainment law, unfair competition, anti-piracy enforcement, and privacy/data protection. A dedicated Baylos Brand Protection sub-brand is operated for brand enforcement and anti-counterfeiting work. The underlying 'technology' of the firm is legal expertise rather than a software product; no proprietary platform, API, or app exists. Revenue is generated through professional services on a quote-based pricing model tailored to matter complexity, sold via direct client engagement, professional networks, and inbound from thought-leadership content (a regularly updated blog covering EUIPO case law, AI regulation, and data protection enforcement) and the IP Talks webinar series.

The firm is now a subsidiary of ABION, a global industrial and intellectual property services firm, following an acquisition that extends Baylos's geographic reach beyond Spain. The firm is recognized across six legal directories — Chambers & Partners, Legal 500, Leaders League, Best Lawyers, MIP IP Stars, and WTR 1000 — and holds Great Place to Work certification. Institutional partnerships include the EUIPO PRO BONO Program supporting EU SMEs, Fundación Pro Bono España, and active participation in the International Trademark Association (INTA). Go-to-market is sales-led and horizontal, targeting businesses across industries that require IP registration, protection, and enforcement. No public revenue, headcount, or ownership-structure data is disclosed.
