Validations

After grant by the European Patent Office (EPO), a European patent has to be validated individually in each member state in order to obtain protection for the claimed subject-matter. Each country sets its own criteria that have to be fulfilled during the validation process, including time limits.    

Stolmár & Partner, with its comprehensive validation service, is here to support you in getting pan-European protection for your invention.
