TOP TIPS

For European Patents

1) 15 Claims - Significant extra fees are charged by the European Patent Office (EPO) for each claim over 15. Therefore, if possible, slim your claims down.

2) Novel claims - Consider amending the claims prior to filing the European patent application to make them as novel and inventive as possible. This will help reduce prosecution costs.

3) 31 months - If filing a European patent application from an international PCT patent application, you have until 31 months from priority to do so, which is longer than the usual 30 months of many countries.

4) Claim references - Amend the text of the claims to include the reference number of each element. This will help to reduce prosecution costs.

5) Claim types - A European patent can only have one independent apparatus claim, one independent method claim, and one independent product-by-process claim. If there are more than one of these types of claims, make them the subject of a divisional application.
