Start using MyEPO today!
“MyEPO Portfolio" is now "MyEPO"
We have changed the name to reflect how MyEPO is evolving beyond just working with portfolios of applications to covering more aspects of your daily work.
In MyEPO you can receive Mailbox communications from the EPO about your proceedings. 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.
You can use the generative-AI based Legal Interactive Platform to consult over 6 000 pages of legal texts from the EPO and the Boards of Appeal.
Representatives and their support staff can also manage their entry in the list of professional representatives before the EPO.
Your company administrator can use MyEPO to manage which users have access to your company’s Mailbox and application portfolios and have fee payment rights.

Benefits of MyEPO
MyEPO provides improved access and procedural guidance, direct interaction with the EPO on files, and enables the exchange of digital information.
Improved access
MyEPO provides an interface that is user-friendly, intuitive and easy to access.
It incorporates the functionalities of the legacy Mailbox and My Files services, with useability improvements. It is easier to view documents in the digital file, with access to documents in their original data format, including parts in colour where available.
Mailbox access is available to international agents and non European parties acting before the EPO under the PCT.
Improved procedural guidance
MyEPO provides you with information about pending actions in reply to a communication from the EPO and the associated deadlines.
It offers a simplified approach to making procedural submissions. You are guided through the process with procedural information, and plausibility checks and validations help reduce the risk of error.
The generative AI-based Legal Interactive Platform of MyEPO allows users to search over 6 000 pages of legal documents from the EPO and Boards of Appeal with conversational language. It provides quick, precise summaries and direct links to relevant patent law sources – unlike traditional keyword searches.
Direct interaction with the EPO on files
MyEPO provides you a personal shared area where you can upload, review, edit and annotate documents together with examiners during a live consultation. This real-time interaction increases quality, transparency as well as efficiency.
Exchange of digital information
MyEPO allows you to download data about your application portfolios, pending tasks and Mailbox communications, including links to the digital file.
You can upload information when submitting requests and replying to communications from the EPO.
We have introduced new business-to-business interfaces (APIs) so that users can automate exchange of data between their IP management systems and MyEPO services.
