Current news from PRV.
From 1 January 2026, the EPO smartcard will no longer work in PRV’s e-services. This means that you will no longer be able to use the smartcard to file applications in Web Filing for patents or to log in to My pages – Patent. Please note that the EPO card in Web filing of patent documents will stop working on 16 December 2025.
PRV has decided on new patent regulations that will come into effect from the turn of the year.
New rules regarding the fee for grant: basic fee for publication as of 1 December 2025
Changed PCT fees from 1 January 2026 due to currency adjustments.
On December 11 2025, eOLF, the online filing service provided by the European Patent Office (EPO) for submitting patent documents, will be discontinued. The service has long been used by professional users such as patent attorneys and companies. When it is phased out, Online Filing SE will take over.
Today, PRV is launching a new system for submitting patent applications. Using the new system requires a small but important effort from your organization and marks a step forward in our journey toward a simpler and more streamlined application process.
As of today, PRV’s e-service for patents is called My Pages – Patents SE. The service makes it easy to follow your patent cases digitally – either as an individual authorized user or together with colleagues in a group at your company. The service works smoothly on both desktop and mobile devices.
As of 25 April 2025, PRV will adjust certain trade mark fees.
Changed PCT fees from 1 June 2025 due to currency adjustments.
We remind you that the new fees have come into effect and want to highlight that eOLF has, for a period, displayed incorrect fees in some cases.
