The European Patent Office (EPO) reviews European patent applications, enabling inventors, researchers, and companies from around the world to obtain their invention protection in up to 45 countries through a centralized and unified process (by submitting only one application).

The European Patent Office (EPO) was established in 1973. The organization has grown from 16 signatories to the 1973 European Patent Convention to 39 member states, including all 27 EU member states, as well as Norway, Switzerland and Türkiye.
