Season’s Greetings from the EPO
The Office has published a new, short film to celebrate the festive season. As in previous years, the film combines our seasonal greeting with an EPO-related theme. While in 2021, we saw Espacenet save Christmas, this year we tell the story of an inventive child tackling a winter problem with a bright idea. The production also features our Isar office, which recently became a listed building (Denkmalschutz).
