International IP rights need to be managed and renewed on a regular basis and granted European Patents need to have a request for validation filed in designated national jurisdictions within three months of the grant date. This often requires payment of an official fee. In some countries, the filing of a translation of relevant parts of the patent application will also be required before validation. Our expert validation team has specialist knowledge of all local formalities and requirements. Whether you are interested in pursuing validation in specific countries or a Unitary Patent across contracting member states, we have the expertise, experience and capacity to provide a seamless process when securing your IP rights throughout Europe. For more information, contact our attorneys or the validation team directly at validation.europe@zacco.com.

Translations come in many forms and whether you need a draft agreement, a verified translation of court proceedings or a patent or trademark in multiple languages during prosecution, we can help.
