With the Unitary Patent (UP) system's official launch on 1 June 2023, UP-related data started to feed into our systems and is now available and searchable in the EPO's various databases, tools and services. 

If you would like to find out more, you can check out our series of Patent Knowledge Nuggets. These short video clips explain how to search and display UP-related information in the European Patent Register, Espacenet and the European Patent Bulletin. 

For ease of access, we have added the latest videos to a UP-related Patent Knowledge Nuggets playlist on the EPO's official YouTube channel. More videos will be added in due course, so it is worth checking the list regularly. 

The recently updated Unitary Patent information in patent knowledge page also provides a clear overview of all UP-related online resources.
