The EPO will launch a new and improved searchable database on its website on 3 February 2025. How can I check my data?

The EPO will launch a new and improved searchable database on its website on 3 February 2025.

This database will list each registered professional representative with a standardised set of information. Any preferences expressed by representatives as to whether they should be included in the database or as to whether the business address they provided should be published will cease to apply as of 3 February 2025. The preference expressed for the publication of telecommunication details will remain valid.

As a professional representative, you are advised to check the data you have on record with the EPO before February 2025. You can do this in the representative area in MyEPO Portfolio, part of the EPO's online services. If necessary, you can update your data in MyEPO Portfolio directly (telecommunication details) or make a request there to have it updated for you by the EPO (name or postal address). For technical reasons, please do not update your telecommunication details on the same day as making a request to have your name or postal address updated by the EPO. If you are not yet a user of MyEPO services, it is easy to create an EPO account by following the instructions on the EPO website.
