The European Patent Office (EPO) embarked on an ambitious program to transform and improve the way users interact with the EPO. Taking advantage of the EPO’s fully digitalized and paperless patent granting process (PGP), McCoy Russell communicates electronically with the EPO concerning PCT applications. This provides instant receipt of communications and eliminates paper mail altogether from the EPO. The EPO is currently 75% paperless and will be 100% paperless by April 2027.
As a firm that has taken active steps to reduce unnecessary consumption of resources and reduce delay, McCoy Russell supports the EPO for its undertakings.
