Notice from the European Patent Office dated 16 December 2025 concerning the improved online form, the updated means of filing and the processing of third-party observations under Article 115 EPC

EPO

Under Article 115 EPC, third parties can file, free of charge, observations concerning the patentability of the invention to which a European patent application or patent relates. Such observations serve the public interest by helping to foster a high-quality European patent system and by increasing the likelihood that only solid and robust patents are granted. In view of their importance, observations by third parties have become one of the common practices established under the convergence of practice programme launched by the EPO in 2023.
