Goals

After an introduction to the European patent system (national and European level), this webinar will focus on the advantages of Luxembourg as first filing country for patent applicants.

The Luxembourg patent system is simple and inexpensive. Patents, which can be filed in English, French or German, are granted after a short period (between 5 and 18 months from priority date). The search report (established by the European patent office) is of high quality.
This makes Luxembourg a very attractive country for first filing and a select gateway to IP in Europe.
