The European Patent Register provides the information on unitary patent protection required under R. 16(1) UPR. "Status" and "Most recent event" are not entries required under R. 16(1) UPR and should therefore be regarded as additional information only.

The EPO accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of data originating from other authorities; in particular, it does not guarantee that it is complete, up to date or fit for specific purposes. Please refer to the relevant national patent authority for SPC data.
