The Epo­li­ne On­li­ne Fi­ling softwa­re for pa­tent pro­fes­sio­nals will be shut down on 30 Sep­tem­ber 2025

Our new Patent Service has been in use since April and will replace the Epoline Online Filing (eOLF) software. If you are not yet using the new service, we recommend that you start using it now. The new service is easier to use and faster to deploy.

The eOLF software will be shut down on 30 September 2025. Originally, our intention was to stop using eOLF in May or June, but we decided to extend it.

You can use the new Patent Service to:

• file Finnish patent applications or utility model applications
• respond to office actions and submit supplements to your applications
• file applications for supplementary protection certificates (SPCs)
• validate European patents in Finland
