OPS and UPP/UPC relevant information

Post by EPO / OPS Support » Tue Jun 06, 2023 10:15 pm

Dear all,

We would like to inform you that the OPS Register will show the first unitary patent-relevant information: https://www.epo.org/applying/european/u ... ptake.html at the same time as our new Unitary Patent Protection section of the European Patent Register website https://register.epo.org/regviewer.
The first data in OPS Register with UPP constituent and OPS Register search with UNIP is expected to be visible as of June 7, 2023.

Few examples of request for EP with Unitary Effect that you can see in OPS Register as off today:
/3.2/rest-services/register/publication/epodoc/EP4019746/upp
/3.2/rest-services/register/application/epodoc/EP21216260/upp
3.2/rest-services/register/search/upp/?q=re=advotec and ufd=true


OPS Developers Console is also already updated with the new UPP search and retrieval test API’s for OPS Register: https://developers.epo.org/apis

OPS Published (EP C0's biblio), OPS Legal (EP C0's biblio, UPP events and UPC optouts as legal events) and OPS Family Services with Biblio (EP C0's) or Legal (UPP events and UPC optouts as legal events) will also display UPP relevant information, but not before the first EP C0 publications actually appear in the database (week 28/2023, from July 12 2023 onwards - EP publication day Wednesday, 14:00 CEST, same as for EP regional publications).

OPS documentation v 1.13.19 is available here: https://www.epo.org/searching-for-paten ... /ops.html (see under “Further Information").

For more details on how OPS will present UPP and UPC relevant data see the enclosed PDF.
