	European Patent Convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While the European Patent Convention does not totally overcome the need for translations (since a translation may be required after grant to validate a patent in a given country), it does centralise the prosecution in one language and defers the cost of translations until the time of grant.
		A single patent application may be filed at the European Patent Office at Munich, at its branches at The Hague or Berlin or at a national patent office of a Contracting State, if the national law of the State so permits.
		A European patent confers rights on its proprietor, in each Contracting State in respect of which it is granted, from the date of publication of the mention of its grant in the European Patent Bulletin.

	European Patent Organisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The European Patent Organisation (EPO or EPOrg in order to distinguish it from the European Patent Office, which is the main organ of the organisation) is a public international organisation set up by the European Patent Convention.
		The European Patent Organisation is not legally bound to the European Union.
		The European Patent Organisation has two organs: the European Patent Office, which can be viewed as its executive body, and the Administrative Council, which can be considered as its legislative body to a limited extent, the actual legislative body for important matters being the Contracting States, when they meet during an intergovernmental Diplomatic Conference.

	European Patent Litigation Agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition, once the 9-month opposition period is terminated, third parties wanting to invalidate a European patent must institute revocation proceedings in each country where the patent is in force.
		Proponents claim this reduces the incentives to apply for a European patent and the situation is a burden on the competitiveness of the European economy, compared to the situation in the United States (see also EU's Lisbon Strategy).
		Critics claim that the main driving force behind the EPLA is legalising software patents and business method patents via case law, under the assumption that the European Patent Convention still forbids those with the European Patent Office nevertheless granting them since the mid 1980s.

		The patent is invalidated retroactively, except in decisions on infringement which have acquired the authority of res judicata and been enforced prior to the invalidity decision; nor does the retroactive effect of the invalidity affect contracts concluded and performed prior to the invalidity decision.
		A translation of the Community patent into all the Community languages is not necessary, although the proprietor of the patent has the option of producing and depositing translations of the patent in other official languages of the Member States.
		The fees for the granting of patents should be split 50/50 between the European Patent Office and the national patent offices, in accordance with criteria which have still to be defined.

	Discussion of European patent system - Thomson Scientific
		For instance, all patents have three elements, including a full description of the invention, the claims that are being made for that invention, and drawings of the invention.
		And given that around 65% of all patents are granted in English, this would mean that in the majority of cases it would only be necessary to translate the claims into the relevant national languages, and not have to translate the description at all.
		The current European patent does not require applicants to translate their patents into every single language, but only into the languages of those states that they are seeking protection in.

	Recent Decisions from the European Patent Office
		Under the European Patent Convention almost any public disclosure of an invention prior to the priority date of a European patent application destroys the novelty of a patent application for that invention.
		This date was prior to the filing date of the European patent being considered by the appeal board which therefore had to consider whether the Brazilian publication was relevant prior art or whether it was excused as an "evident abuse " of the applicant.
		Presumably, in view of Article 88(2) of the European Patent Convention, which permits multiple priority dates in a single claim, this 'prior art' can be cited with respect to only a portion (or element) of a claim which is not entitled to a priority claim.

	EPO - Legislative Initiatives in European Patent Law
		The Declaration also acknowledges, however, that the establishment of a litigation system for European patents has to be paused, in view of the work being done by the European Union to introduce a Community patent with a judicial system of its own.
		The organs of the EPJ are the European Patent Court (comprising the Court of First Instance, the Court of Appeal and a Registry) and the Administrative Committee.
		6.3 The substantive patent law contained in the Agreement is closely related to the corresponding provisions in the 1989 Agreement relating to Community patents, e.g., the definitions of infringing acts and indirect infringement, the provisions on limitation of the effects of the European patent and the reversal of burden of proof.
