Who Is It For?

What is the Patent Place?

Patent Place offers an innovative and bespoke platform for US Companies or their outside Counsel to both manage their European IP Portfolios and file their patent formalities directly into the European Patent Office (EPO) or with national patent offices. The platform is “powered by” Pure Ideas, a UK-based Intellectual Property firm with extensive experience across the IP spectrum.

This means that as well as Patent Place being able to offer a simple but trustworthy way to file into the EPO or national patent offices, you have the added confidence that the platform is backed by IP professionals who can support and guide you through any of these processes.
