Improved Official Journal from January 2025
As of January 2025, the Official Journal will be published in a new streamlined format, making content of a legal nature more accessible.
The European Patent Office (EPO) is the official source of up-to-date legal texts and of a wide range of publications for patent practitioners and other stakeholders. These texts and publications include the European Patent Bulletin, the Official Journal (OJ), and the European Patent Convention (EPC).
Starting in January 2025, the OJ will be streamlined and focus exclusively on publications of a legal nature. Furthermore, to improve accessibility, the OJ will be published solely in the user-friendly and searchable HTML format. Users may generate PDFs of the OJ content if they wish.
More information will be provided in the December 2024 edition of the OJ.
This initiative contributes to the digital transformation, and ongoing efforts to increase transparency, outlined in our Strategic Plan 2028.
