Launch of new on-line patent services

Customers can now request an online certified copy of their patent applications and provide information about late declarations of priority thanks to a new enhanced version of the web based service originally launched in June 2007.

Included in this launch is a new web filing service allowing customers to request entry of an international patent application to UK national phase.

Over the next few months, further enhancements will allow customers to request and receive an uncertified office copy electronically and also file a selection of later filed forms and documents via our website

Sean Dennehey, Director of Patents said, ‘These new and enhanced services and our planned future releases underline our commitment to providing our customers with as much choice and as many options to do business with us as possible.

If you wish to be notified of the exact release dates for these services please contact Louise White on 01633 813756.
