Austria joined WIPO in 1973. It is also the part of several International Intellectual Property Conventions, including the European Patent Convention, and the Universal Copyright Convention. Austria provides the streamlined process of patent applications through Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) which reduces the average processing time of the patent applications. With the vision of encouragement of patent filings across the globe, Austria is also participating in the Global Patent Prosecution Highway (GPPH) pilot program, which started in January 2014. One of the key advantage of filing a patent application in Austria is that it doesn’t charge any annuity until the grant of the patent. With these initiatives from the Austrian Government, GPF is dedicated in providing the one stop solution of all the requirements of patent filings. GPF can assist in efficiently and promptly, using accurate translations, filing of patent applications. GPF along with Khurana and Khurana, Advocates and IP Attorneys  (K&K) has tremendous experience in dealing with Patent Filing/Prosecution as per Austrian Patent Laws, and can assist in hand-holding through the complete prosecution lifecycle of a Patent.
