EP Grant and Validation
Simplified European validation services
Overview
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. Whenever you receive the Intention to Grant communication (rule 71(3)), we manage translation, claims filing and grant fees payments activities with our preferred EP partners. We will then monitor for the Decision to Grant and, with a single instruction from you, validate your patent with our preferred EP partners[1]. Our admin expert team manages the formalities and any necessary translations for the countries you choose. After EP validation, we will forward you all patent office notifications at no extra cost. We can also take care of patent annuities and recordals. With Questel, European patents are that much easier.
Grant at intention to grant: translate claims, pay fees to EPO, 4 months after 71
Validate at intention to grant: monitor for decision to grant, translate and validate, 3 months after publication of grant
Maintain stand as address for services, for the life of patent
