DAEILPAT provides comprehensive European patent validation services across all countries that are part of the European Patent Convention (EPC). Our expertise ensures that companies and law firms efficiently handle the administrative obligations associated with meeting validation deadlines and translation requirements.
What is European Patent Validation?
European Patent validation refers to the process by which a European Patent (EP) is recognized and enforced in specific member states of the European Patent Convention (EPC). Unlike the European Union Trade Mark (EUTM), which provides automatic protection across the entire European Union upon registration, an EP needs to go through validation to secure protection in individual countries. Initially, an EP application is filed with the European Patent Office (EPO). Upon grant, the EP must undergo the validation process in the desired member states of the EPC or in extension/validation countries to establish legal effect and enforceability.
EP Validation Deadlines:
EP validation deadlines differ across countries, but as a general rule, there is a three-month timeframe from the European Grant Date to fulfill the national phase validation requirements in each country. It is crucial to meet these deadlines to ensure proper validation of your European patent.
Although extensions to the validation deadline may be possible in certain cases, it is important to note that such extensions often come with specific conditions and require the payment of additional fees.
At DAEILPAT, we understand the significance of meeting validation deadlines promptly. Our team is well-versed in the requirements of each country and can assist you in managing the necessary tasks to ensure compliance within the stipulated timeframe. If an extension is needed, we can guide you through the process, taking into account the conditions and any associated fees.
By entrusting your EP validation deadlines to us, you can rest assured that we will diligently navigate the complexities involved and help you meet the necessary requirements in a timely manner.
