The 39th Annual ECTA Conference, held in Vienna under the heading “Waltz with IP”, was filled with many inspiring lectures and discussions by representatives of the intellectual property world.
The lecture sessions were preceded by meetings of individual committees, including The ECTA Design Committee, which was attended by Joanna Piłka, Patpol’s patent attorney.
The next ECTA Conference will take place in June 2022, this time we will meet in Copenhagen.
Validating European Patent in Poland seems to be a fairly simple task. However, one should remember about a number of formal requirements that must be fulfilled in order to successfully validate a European Patent. The great majority of them is logical and obvious.
On the other hand, they may appear some questions from the Polish Patent Office (PPO) which are surprising even for patent attorneys.
Obviously, the basis for starting validation process in Poland is obtaining a European Patent designating Poland as one of the countries where the proprietor wishes to have a legal protection. Without this one cannot move any further.
The proprietor has three months to validate obtained European Patent since B1 publication, which informs about the grant of a patent. So far everything is clear and logical ? if the proprietor misses the deadline for filing the validation, a patent will not be protected in the given country.
Next Friday, AIPPI World Congress Online starts – the annual meeting of International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property.

Innovative solutions are not only original products that break thinking patterns, but also those that meet basic needs and make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. Technological progress affects every industry today. So do the innovative solutions have to be complicated, or simplicity os not the best option?
