What's all this about the London Agreement on patent
translations?



The “London Agreement” formally the agreement on application of
Article 65 of the European Patent Convention.

The Paris Intergovernmental Conference in 1999 mandated the
Working Party on Cost Reduction to find ways of reducing
translation related costs by 50%.

The agreement reduces costs by limiting the number of translation
required, but will not come into force until 8 contracting states
including France, Germany and the UK have ratified it.
