A duly authorised professional representative or common representative before the EPO is not required to file a new authorisation. A power of attorney must be submitted with the translation, when the translation is filed by the Estonian patent attorney. The Office accepts an Estonian patent attorney whose name is entered in the State Register of Patent Attorneys as specialising in the legal protection of inventions and layout designs of integrated circuits. If the translation does not comply with the requirements, an Estonian patent attorney must be appointed to submit the corrections. The translation is not deemed to have been filed until all the requirements have been met. §§ 19 to 22 REP |
