EPO deploys latest MyEPO features for all users
The European Patent Office (EPO) has launched new functionalities for its MyEPO services suite as part of its Strategic Plan 2028, aiming to enhance user experience and streamline the digital patent granting process. The latest release improves workflow, refines the MyEPO's design, and enables self-management options, developed in collaboration with 145 pilot companies. With two-factor authentication being required for accessing MyEPO from 1 January 2025, users are advised to upgrade access methods, as the use of smart cards will be phased out. In addition, the Webform Filing tool and the Online Filing software version 5.14 will also be discontinued from 1 January 2025.
