Strategy debate

A consultation process among the member states of the European Patent Organisation is currently taking place. The March 2006 meeting of the Administrative Council will give the Council the opportunity to mandate the European Patent Office to prepare a “strategy package” that could be adopted by June 2006.

The enlarged debate needs to be conducted in an open and transparent manner. To this end, the Council Chairman is making the documents under discussion available to the interested public and to the numerous parties involved in the process (see Documentation).

To facilitate the broadest possible consultation, the Council Secretariat has set up the following address for those who wish to submit their views:

Strategy_Debate@epo.org

Submissions should be in electronic form only and in one or more of the Organisation's official languages (English, French and German). In submitting their views in this way, the contributors authorise the Organisation to publish them on this site and to refer to the source. They also accept that the Organisation reserves the right not to publish every contribution.

It should be noted that only submissions made in good time for Council meetings can be given due consideration (see the Council's calendar ).
