The European Patent Office (EPO) has started an online public consultation on the establishment of an Observatory.
The idea for such an organization was articulated in SP2023: an Observatory to contribute to a better understanding of major issues relating to innovation and the patent system. The platform intends to meet the unique demands of many user groups while also actively bringing public and commercial stakeholders together to debate the most recent changes in the patent system based on patent trend analysis.
