Timely completion of all national validation requirements

Once the European Patent Office has decided that a patent may be granted, the version of the specification and claims intended for grant is communicated to the applicant by means of a communication under Rule 71(3). At this point, we can take care of all the following steps required until grant.

Once granted, we validate the European Patent in all designated states – taking care of an administratively complex and time-consuming process with different country-specific requirements. In order to obtain IP protection in a designated state, national validation requirements have to be fulfilled within three months following the grant and publication of the European Patent by the European Patent Office (EPO). PAVIS experts are familiar with all rules and regulations in the various countries and take care of all actions which may be required; including providing a domestic address for service, payment of fees and translation and filing of the specification and / or claims. We ensure that your patent is validated reliably, efficiently and in time in all designated states.
