EP Grant and Validation

European Patent Validation Services

Benefit from an end-to-end solution that simplifies and reduces the cost of obtaining a European patent

European patent grant and validation formalities can be complex, expensive and time consuming. Our comprehensive service saves money and streamlines the process. Ask us to take over as early as the 71(3) Intention to Grant to translate and file the claims and pay the grant fees. We will then monitor for the Decision to Grant and, with a single instruction from you, validate your patent. Our admin expert team manages the formalities and any necessary translations for the countries you choose. After validation, we will forward you all patent office notifications at no extra cost. We can also take care of patent annuities and recordals. With one partner, one contact and one invoice, European patents are that much easier with Questel.
