Access via EPO smart card stops on 31 Dec 2024
EPO online services can be accessed using either an EPO smart card or two-factor authentication. Support for EPO smart cards will end on 31 December 2024, after which our online services will only be accessible via two-factor authentication. Switch to two-factor authentication today. For more information, please refer to these frequently asked questions, which also include details about using smart cards for national office filing.
Understand our services
Our secure services are designed to make it easy for you to file patent applications and submissions, interact with us on your files, pay fees and claim refunds. You can help us improve our services by providing feedback and volunteering to trial new features
Get access
We take the security and confidentiality of your information very seriously. We secure your EPO account by two-factor authentication (factor 1: email address plus password; factor 2: another authentication method). We will also continue to offer authentication by EPO smart card until the end of 2024.
Find a professional representative
If you wish to consult or appoint a professional representative, you can find one in our regularly updated database of professional representatives before the EPO.
File with us
Use our web-based Online Filing 2.0 service to file EP and PCT applications and submissions in opposition, appeal and other proceedings. Online Filing, our legacy software, is still available for download, but we encourage you to use Online Filing 2.0 instead.
Interact with us on your files
MyEPO Portfolio is the place for interacting with us during EP, UP and PCT proceedings. You can receive Mailbox communications from the EPO. And in European proceedings (EP, UP and Euro-PCT) you can access your digital files, submit requests and replies about applications, and interact online with examiners during a live consultation.
Manage fees and refunds
Central Fee Payment gives you all the options for paying fees relating to patent procedures and allows you to claim refunds. Our filing services also offer certain payment-related features, allowing you to submit debit orders, set up automatic debit orders and provide refund instructions.
