Extension of European patents

The extension agreement between the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and the European Patent Organization will terminate with the entry into force of the EPC in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia on 1 January 2009. It will therefore no longer be possible to extend European patent applications and patents to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The extension system will, however, continue to apply to all European and international applications filed prior to 1 January 2009, as well as to all European patents granted in respect of such applications.
