4. Pass all that on to the filing department
5. They liaise with the annuities department over fees
6. The filing department fills out all the official forms

We offer an unbeatable fixed fee of
just 100 EUR per EPO regional phase
entry.
And why is it unbeatable?
Simply because no one else can offer
a fully automated EPO regional phase
entry.
And what about the
cost?

Today archaic working practices means many
films have to charge up to 2500 EUR for EPO
regional phase entry.
Why does standard admin have to cost so
much?
Whether you are a legal practice, an SME,
a corporation or an individual inventor, if you
automate this step it will immediately save you
time and money and allow you to stay
in total control.
So why should you start
