MyEPO B2B interfaces: how paralegals can save time and improve efficiency
Online seminar - English
The EPO provides MyEPO business-to-business technical interfaces – referred to as APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) – that your IT department can use to make exchange of digital information possible.
Many companies using MyEPO services, have their own in-house IP management and docketing systems, which they use for managing all their patent and trademark business. Other companies connect their IP management systems directly to MyEPO services so they can automate filing submissions and receiving communications from the EPO.
The following APIs are currently available:
- MyEPO API for downloading Mailbox content and information about applications
- Online Filing 2.0 API API for importing, submitting, exporting and deleting EP and PCT forms
During this seminar, you will learn more about the benefits of APIs from a paralegal’s perspective.
Concrete examples will be given how APIs can help to improve your workflows.
Target audience: Paralegals and IP support staff
