The EPO's bulk data sets are also referred to as "raw data products" or "EPO databases". 

The European Patent Register data backfile provides complete historical data for an EPO patent application at any given time. The European Register data is a snapshot of the database on the date specified, and includes not only the information listed in Rule 143 EPC but also additional data such as legal status, attorney details, etc.

Our product does not include "All documents" or Federated Register sections of the European Patent Register.

Please note that European Patent Register data backfile can only partly be matched with the EBD weekly frontfile.

For more information please contact patentdata@epo.org
