The institution was established in 1973. Besides its headquarters in Munich, the EPO also has offices in The Hague, Berlin, Vienna, and Brussels. Proceedings before the European Patent Office are conducted in one of three languages: English, French, or German, and they result in a patent granted, which \u2013 according to current regulations \u2013 must be validated in selected member states, among the 38 states mentioned. We will devote a separate definition to the alternative procedure before the EPO (the Unitary Patent) under the letter \u201cJ\u201d. Only European patent attorneys included in the list maintained by the EPO are authorized to appear before this body. In 2020, more than 180,000 patent applications were filed at the EPO!

Out of the total staff, over 4,200 employees are highly qualified scientists and engineers working as examiners in various fields of technology.
