Protect your patents in Europe - starting from 130€

Transparent, flat-fee pricing, no hidden costs.

European patent post-grant services

After your European patent has been granted, the next step is validation in each member state of the European Patent Convention (EPC) where you want protection. This process can be time-consuming due to administrative tasks and translation requirements in some countries.  

With over 60 years of experience and a strong network of patent attorneys across Europe, Dennemeyer delivers efficient, high-quality validation services at scale. Our experienced European Patent Attorneys manage the entire process with precision — ensuring accuracy, transparency, and peace of mind from start to finish.

We can guide you on the best strategy for your needs:

  • Pursue classic European Patent Validation (EPV)
  • Request a Unitary Patent that covers multiple jurisdictions
  • Adopt a combination of both

Dennemeyer is your one-stop shop for validation in Europe.
