Eurasian and international IP practice
EAPAN supports IP-related situations involving patents, trademarks, industrial designs and other IP rights in national, regional and international procedures.
Choose a practical starting point: the IP object, jurisdiction or service — depending on what you already know about your matter.
IP matters rarely begin in the same way. Choose any starting point: the object, the jurisdiction, or only the immediate procedural task.
The site is organized around three practical entry points. You do not need to know the legal category in advance — choose the starting point closest to your question.
Start with the IP object if your question is about the asset itself.
Start with the jurisdiction or filing system if territorial coverage is the main question.
Start with the service if you already know the procedural action or current stage.
If you are not sure whether to start with an object, jurisdiction or service, choose the situation closest to your matter. These examples connect the three axes without turning the homepage into a directory.
For brand owners who need national protection, availability checks, filing or response to examination issues.
For inventions and industrial designs where regional protection through the Eurasian Patent Organization may be relevant.
For applications approaching national or regional phase deadlines, where applicants need to choose the next territorial filing route.
For matters where the object, filing procedure or territorial scope is not yet clear and several options need to be compared.
For applicants who need to respond to objections, provisional refusals or examination communications.
For owners of trademarks, patents and designs who need deadline control, renewals, annuities or maintenance support.
For ownership transfers, license recordals, mergers, name changes, address changes and other portfolio updates.
Advise us the object, country or system, procedural stage and deadline, and we will help to identify the relevant next step.
We usually begin with three practical questions: what is the IP object, where protection is required, and what procedural stage the matter has reached. From there, we help identify the available procedure, required documents, likely deadlines and next step.
This approach is especially useful when a matter may involve national procedures, the Eurasian patent system, international filing systems or coordination with local representatives in selected jurisdictions.
Send us a short description of the IP object, target countries or filing systems, current procedural stage and any known deadline. We will help determine the relevant procedure and next step.
