San Marino accedes to the EPC

San Marino will become the 36th member state of the EPO this summer.  European patent applications filed on or after 1 July 2009 will automatically designate San Marino.


It will not be possible to add San Marino as a designated state for an existing application.  However, applications filed during June 2009 can be post-dated to 1 July 2009, if required, in order to include the new member state.
