European Patent Organization (EPO)

The European Patent Organization (EPO) is an international body that grants patents for inventions across its member countries. It provides a centralized application process, allowing inventors to seek patent protection in multiple European nations through a single procedure. Once granted, these patents are recognized in the member states designated by the applicant. The EPO promotes innovation by offering a streamlined system for intellectual property protection, ensuring inventors can defend their inventions across Europe efficiently and effectively.
