The European Patent Organisation (EPO) and Montenegro have signed an agreement on the extension of European patents to Montenegro.
The Agreement will enter into force later this year, depending on a mutual exchange of notes between the Government of Montenegro and the EPO.
Once the agreement enters into force, the number of countries for which one can seek patent protection for an invention through a single European patent application will rise to 39 countries.
Up to date, the 35 member countries include all 27 EU member states plus Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey. Furthermore, the Organisation has extension agreements with Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia.
