About Our Intellectual Property Law Firm

EAPAN operates within the framework of the Eurasian Patent Convention and provides comprehensive IP services across Eurasia and Europe.

Eurasian system

The Eurasian Patent Convention is implemented by the Eurasian Patent Organization (The EAPO). The Eurasian Patent Office (EAPO) carries out filing, examination, prosecution, and other procedural activities.

Validity

Eurasian patents are valid in all Contracting States for the first three years and may then be maintained selectively by paying annuities to the Eurasian Patent Organization (The EAPO).

Where we operate

We operate in all Eurasian Patent Convention Contracting States: Armenia (AM), Azerbaijan (AZ), Belarus (BY), Kazakhstan (KZ), Kyrgyzstan (KG), Russia (RU), Tajikistan (TJ), and Turkmenistan (TM), as well as other countries including Georgia (GE), Moldova, and Uzbekistan (UZ), and worldwide through our partner network.
