*A European patent is a patent granted by the European Patent Office (EPO) under the European Patent Convention (EPC).

38 EPC member states:

Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and United Kingdom.

*Qatar currently has a Design Law in place; however, there are no implementing regulations to operationalize it, so formal design registration is not yet available. The current method of protection involves publishing the design drawings in local newspapers, which can serve as evidence against third parties in case of infringement. By submitting the design drawings, the publication process can be completed within 2-3 working days.
