In order to be effectively protected, an invention for which an European Patent has been granted must be validated in chosen Contracting States of the European Patent Convention. The patent holder must file an application for recognition of patent validity in the Patent Offices of the states where the patent is to be valid within three months of the European Patent Office (EPO) publishing information on granting European Patent. The procedure’s specific requirements, as well as the practice of European patent validation, vary from one contracting state to the next. Failure to follow this method within the specified term in a certain state may result in the invention’s lack of protection in that country.
