Epo obobin english. The EPO is in charge of the technical operation of the Unitary Patent and acts as a one-stop-shop, allowing for a simple registration of a Unitary Patent. Unitary Patents make it possible to get patent protection in up to 18 EU Member States by submitting a single request to the EPO, making the procedure simpler and more cost effective for applicants. The European Patent Register is the most complete and up-to-date source of publicly available procedural information on European patent applications as they pass through each stage of the EPO granting process and on European patents with unitary effect. Discover the potential of the EPO’s legal patent information: find out if and where a patent has been granted, if it is valid, if there is still time to challenge it and much more. See the list of member states sorted according to the date of accession Applicants seeking worldwide patent protection may use the services of the EPO under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). Our people, technologies, high-quality products and services, the partnerships the EPO develops and financial sustainability are the five drivers that will enable us to build a more sustainable patent office. PCT applications may be filed, searched and examined at the EPO. With its worldwide coverage and search features, Espacenet offers free access to information about inventions and technical developments from 1782 to today. The European Patent Office (EPO) examines European patent applications, enabling inventors, researchers and companies from around the world to obtain protection for their inventions in up to 46 countries through a centralised and uniform procedure that requires just one application. The following states (sorted alphabetically) are currently members of the European Patent Organisation. No fees are due for the filing and examination of the request for unitary effect or for registration of a Unitary Patent. .
