Are there any limitations to using the EPO account with two-factor authentication in eOLF?

Before you can use it, you must install version 5.15 of the eOLF software that enables using the EPO account with two-factor authentication.

The EPO account for eOLF works for EP and PCT submissions to the EPO as filing office, receiving office or in any other capacity.

If a National Office is chosen as filing office, receiving office, or in any other capacity, the EPO account with two-factor authentication will only work for those National Offices that have adapted their systems to support this option.

If you have any questions on National Office online services, where the use of an EPO smart card is required, including National Office plugins, please contact the corresponding National Office for information about what alternatives are offered by them.
