An average cost of an European patent
The survey shows that registering a patent in eight countries
for a ten-year period costs around 30,000 EUR.
Four key factors determine this amount:
- costs relating to the registration procedure (4,300 EUR)
- the cost of professional representation (attorneys) that accompanies the request
for a patent (5,000 EUR)
- costs relating to the translation of patents into the languages of the
countries where the patent is registered (11,000 EUR or 40% of the total cost!!!)
- renewal of patent registrations in the relevant national patent offices (9,000 EUR)
