Streamline European patent validation

Simplify European patent validation with integrated translations, formalities support and a clearer view across jurisdictions.

Stay on top of deadlines, forecast costs more confidently and keep post-grant work moving across jurisdictions.

RWS helps law firms and corporate IP teams bring together translation, formalities and jurisdictional coordination in a clearer, more controlled process.

inovia is RWS’s online foreign patent filing platform. It gives teams one place to submit instructions, request translations, get estimates and track progress. That means better visibility, easier coordination and a smoother path from grant to validation.

European patent validation is time-critical and often spread across multiple jurisdictions. RWS gives you a more connected way to manage that work, with integrated patent translations, route support and online tracking through inovia. 

You can request translations, submit instructions and follow progress in one place, helping your team stay organized from grant onwards.

RWS supports the wider innovation lifecycle, helping clients protect and maximize the value of their ideas globally.

RWS supports more than European patent validation. The service also connects with renewals and recordals, and supports major filing routes including PCT National Phase Entry, Direct Filing, European Validation and Unitary Patent filing. Through inovia, clients can also access a wider network of IP specialists, administrators and paralegals.
