Deep linking – direct link to national patent registers

The Federated Register service offers deep links to national patent registers, enabling you to consult the legal status data of a European patent once it enters the national phase.

Each participating patent office has provided its own way of linking to its national patent register and defined which of its documents can be accessed through the deep-linking service.

Here is a list of the participating offices and the data coverage they provide:
