Serbia invited to join European Patent Convention

The Administrative Council of the European Patent Organization has invited the Republic of Serbia to accede to the European Patent Convention (EPC).

The invitation, which the Administrative Council issued on June 19, 2008, recognized Serbia’s efforts to bring its patent laws into line with European and international standards.

The EPC currently has 34 member states and provides a uniform application procedure for individual inventors and companies seeking patent protection in up to 38 European countries.
