Our foreign patent filing workflow
Sun IP’s EP Validation service
When a European Patent (EP) is granted, it must be validated in every country where protection is required. The process for EP validation involves completing country-specific actions within three months of the European Patent Office (EPO) grant date. Each jurisdiction comes with its own set of requirements, translation guidelines, and filing frameworks.
At Sun IP, we make the process effortless. From agent coordination to document management and cost clarity, we offer a smarter, more transparent way to manage EP validations, all from a single, secure platform.
IP Translations? You can count on us!
Translations are our specialty and a cornerstone of our reputation. For over 10 years, we’ve been providing precise translations for IP content, adhering to strict country-specific regulations.
Our translation service covers foreign patent prosecution, office actions, prior art, ITC and litigation needs, legal and non-legal documents. We have translated over 1 billion words, refining our services to lead the market in quality and cost efficiency.
