Legal Status Codes
Posted: Tue May 30, 2017 10:08 am
Hello all,
I have a question regarding the legal status codes for a patent. What exactly does non-entry into the national phase mean? Does that mean that the patent is not being granted in a specific country? In this case, am I correct to assume that the event code means non-entry in Germany?
Event date : 2016/05/19
Event code : NENP DE
Code Expl.: NON-ENTRY INTO THE NATIONAL PHASE IN:
Thanks for your help!
