European Patent Application

A European Patent Application is a powerful intellectual property tool that allows you to protect your invention across 38 European countries with a single filing. Managed by the European Patent Office (EPO), this process enables the international protection of innovative ideas. At Jagadamba, based in Ankara with over 20 years of experience, we stand by your side throughout this critical process.

The European patent application process consists of preparing the technical description, formulating patent claims, and filing the official application. Each stage requires both technical and legal expertise. For your application to succeed, your invention must meet the criteria of novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability.

Jagadamba's expert team provides professional support at every stage of your application. From preparing technical descriptions to optimizing patent claims, managing correspondence with the EPO to following opposition proceedings — we handle the entire process. We also serve our European clients with the same quality, ensuring cross-border patent protection.

One of the most critical aspects of the application process is correctly defining the scope of patent claims. Claims defined too narrowly may not provide sufficient protection, while overly broad claims risk conflicting with existing patents. Our experienced team determines the optimal scope of protection to ensure your invention is safeguarded most effectively.

After a European patent is granted, the validation process begins. At this stage, the countries where the patent will be effective are determined, and the necessary translations are submitted to the relevant national offices. Jagadamba plays a critical role in this process with our expertise in patent translation. By offering both patent application and translation services under one roof, we provide our clients with significant time and cost advantages.
