Current news from PRV.
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.
