FEMIPI RESOLUTION


FEMIPI, the European Federation of Agents of Industry in Industrial Property,


in consideration of the epi resolution passed at the epi Council meeting in Madrid on 8 May 2001,
in consideration of the need for widespread adoption by the users in order to ensure viability of the on-line filing systems of the respective patent offices,
and in consideration of the difficulties of running multiple diverse systems in agents’ offices

urges WIPO, the EPO, and all patent offices of the Contracting States to the EPC to harmonise electronic access and filing modalities by providing a common standard for electronic filing and, in particular, a common user interface suitable for filing PCT, EPC and national patent applications including sequence listings as the case may be, as well as trade mark, utility model and design applications.
