European Patent Validations
Extending your patent jurisdiction in Europe
Efficient, cost-effective EP validations
Through our pan-European office and partner firm network, we offer European Patent (EP) validations in all European territories. As a one-stop firm for all your validation needs — providing significant cost savings, a single point of contact and access to our in-house translation specialists — we can handle your IP, hassle-free.
Full European coverage
We validate directly in 15 European countries. Everywhere else, we instruct our network of carefully selected partner firms on your behalf. A dedicated and responsive single point of contact identifies your needs while overseeing your entire validation process.
Transparent pricing
Our costs are always transparent and competitive, whether we validate directly or instruct our trusted partner network, which we regularly review to ensure best price. We can reduce costs even further when we validate directly, as this bypasses local agent fees and our efficient filing strategies minimise procedural costs and service charges.
In-house translation management
We facilitate translations in all main languages. Our experienced translation specialists ensure legal and technical accuracy as well as contextual appropriateness. All translations are carried out by mother-tongue speakers. See our Translations services page to learn more.
