Validation of European Patents

When the European Patent Office issues a Decision to Grant, a three month deadline is set for filing a request for validation and fulfilling the national requirements. In the IP industry, validation refers to the formal process of making your European patent valid nationally in each of its designated countries. In a number of countries, the process requires payment of an official fee and filing a translation of the complete patent application or the relevant parts of it, while in other countries, all you need is a registration of address for service. Our validation team has the specialist knowledge of all formalities, filing requirements and languages, as well as the capacity and seamless processes in place to secure your patent rights in a cost-effective way.

Through Zacco, you have access to an extensive and well-established network across the other European countries. We offer you a single point of contact and a unique entry point to Europe. For further information on our validations services, please contact one of our attorneys or the validation team directly at: validation.europe@zacco.com

Translation

Whether you need a quick translation of a draft agreement for negotiations, a verified translation for court proceedings or translation of a document issued or to be filed during the prosecution or enforcement of patents and trademarks, Zacco’s Translation team can help you.

We are well aware that not all translations are the same and that their intended uses differ widely. We also know that the concept of quality means something different in different contexts: e.g. 100 % correctness, immediate delivery or the lowest possible price.

All of our translators are certified translators or have other relevant academic backgrounds and have many years of experience within all aspects of IP-translation. We know how to secure your IP in relevant jurisdictions because we work in an IP setting and have an IP mindset –in respect of patents, trademarks and IP litigation – meaning that our IP knowledge is both comprehensive and up to date. This is precisely what makes our translations stand out and provides that special added value to our clients.

Please send your order or request for further information regarding our team and our services directly to translation@zacco.com
