Paralegals, patent administrators and formalities officers can now
enrol for the online EPAC exam, which will take place on 12 December 2022. Enrolment opens today and closes on 30
September 2022.
The EPAC attests professionals‘
knowledge and skills in managing the filing of patent applications, as well as
processes associated with their prosecution, grant and maintenance for European
and international patent applications before the EPO.
Candidates are advised to prepare for the
EPAC exam by taking advantage of the wide array of tailor-made training
opportunities offered by the
European Patent Academy. Sign up for the EPO newsletter and Academy
email alerts to get all of the latest updates. For more detailed
information on the exam, you can also consult our Frequently
Asked Questions.
Successfully enrolled candidates can take a mock exam on 21 November,
which is highly recommended to prepare for the EPAC 2022 exam. The mock and the
EPAC exam will be held in the same technical environment and present the same
level of difficulty.
So be among the first to take the EPAC and
become a certified European patent administrator!
