Employment Breakfasts 2026

We are pleased to invite you to a new edition of our ‘Employment Breakfasts’, which will kick off the 2026 cycle. This time, it will be held on our renovated 17th floor, a modern space designed to encourage professional encounters and dialogue. In this session, we will take a practical look at the main developments in labour case law and the latest criteria being established by our courts on issues of particular relevance, such as the nullity and classification of dismissals, leave and work-life balance rights, as well as incentive schemes and variable remuneration, among other key aspects of labour management. We will also analyse the legislative trends and developments expected for 2026, with a special focus on those initiatives with the greatest impact on businesses and the regulatory changes that will shape the labour agenda in the coming months. This is an essential update for labour consultants, members of legal advisory services, human resources directors and labour relations managers who wish to anticipate the challenges and opportunities of the new year.

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.

Requirements for lawful descriptive use of a third-party trade mark with reputation

In Judgment 1505/2025, the Supreme Court analyses the use of the term ‘Donut’ by a competitor that markets ring-shaped pastry under another trade mark. Although previous instances considered the use to be merely descriptive, the Supreme Court rejects this on the grounds that it is a reputed trade mark, which triggers enhanced protection. This protection requires avoiding any unfair use of the prestige or distinctive character of the trade mark. The court concludes that the use made was not fair and may involve parasitism and dilution.
