              Direct Validation joined Questel Group in 2019
              More than three decades of expertise and know-how in EP validation

              Founded in 1988 and based in Stockholm (Sweden), Direct Validation is a world leader in validation of European patents — the process of nationalizing European patents.

              By identifying and eliminating superfluous services and middlemen in the validation process, Direct Validation has been able to reduce client costs by as much as 50%.

              Acquired by Questel in 2019, Direct Validation has added valuable expertise to Questel’s IP service offering.
