The European Patent Office carries out the examination of applications for formal requirements, the preparation of reports on searches and their publication, as well as the examination of patent applications for compliance with the requirements for patentability in substance, namely novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability. Some organizational measures of the department’s activity are considered. The focus is on cooperation between the Ukrainian Patent Office and the European Office.
