Patent Validation Services

Share:

An invention for which a European patent has been granted must be validated in selected Contracting States of the European Patent Convention in order to be protected effectively. Within three months of the European Patent Office (EPO) publishing information on granting a European patent, the patent holder is obliged to file an application for recognition of patent validity in patent offices of the states in which the patent is to be valid. Detailed requirements of the procedure as well as the practice of European patent validation differs from one contracting state to another. Failure to comply with this procedure within the timeframe in a given state may result in lack of protection for the invention in that country.
