Patent protection

Nationalisation of your European patents

EP validation requires the successful grant of the European patent. You can then validate the EP patent in the countries where you have an economic influence. Validation includes local representation and claim translations into different languages.

Validation must comply with certain formal requirements imposed by the European Patent Office and the elected countries. First, the patent proprietor receives a communication from the Office under Rule 71 (3), to which he must respond within 4 months.

All formalities at a glance

The European Patent Office has various requirements that must be met within the time limit. We take care of the official communication and timely handling.

EP validation
