EPO exceeds 4 million Patent Applications

 The European Publication Server has reached another milestone as the EPO published EP 4 000 000. L’Oreal is one of the top ten French applicants in the 2021 Patent Index, AI is equipped to identify the skin tone and help customers to find the cosmetic products which match their skin tone.

The number of applications for EP 4 000 000 is increasing which includes 4IR technologies. AI is also one of the inventions of 4IR which has grown widely in all the domains like the Cosmetics sector.

The EPO stopped the Paper Publication of European Patent documents in 2005 after the decision of the Administrative Council and started to publish online on their official platform i.e. European Publication Server. The European documents are published every Wednesday and later streamed via patent knowledge services as huge data or through online services like European Patent Register. Furthermore, the EPO also publishes worldwide patent data via their online services like Global Index, PASSAT, and Espacenet.

The EPO is establishing the implementation of the strategic plan, the Patent information and Patent knowledge will be featured effectively in the plan. EPO is upgrading the permission to access Patent Information and also trusting that the technical records are perfect, finished, and managed effectively.

Patent Search will find it helpful and work across various services when EPO gives access to Patent Information.
