When the request for unitary effect is finalised, Online Filing 2.0 (OLF 2.0) generates an XML file. Is it possible to automatically upload an XML with the required information?

Neither Online Filing (OLF) nor OLF 2.0 supports XML filings (i.e. attaching the form as an XML). However, the systems support the importing of packages. Therefore, if the package is constructed with a Patent Management System (PMS) gateway. It meets the standards and requirements, and can be imported into OLF and OLF 2.0.

The EPO will provide the technical documentation on the PMS gateway in good time at epo.org/applying/online-services/online-filing/interface.html.
