European Patent Attorney (EQE) Candidate Support Program 2025 – Application Deadline: August 15

11 Temmuz 2025

In collaboration with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT) and the European Patent Office (EPO), candidates who wish to take the European Qualifying Examination (EQE) can benefit from training and financial support provided by the EPO within the framework of the Candidate Support Program (CSP).

As part of the support, candidates preparing for the EQE will be granted free access to EPO’s online training program and mock exams, and coaching will be provided by qualified tutors.

The newly structured CSP aims to reduce gender inequality among European Patent Attorneys and to enhance quality. In this context, the EPO will support two candidates from our country in each of the gender and quality categories.

Applications for the Candidate Support Program can be made between July 8 and August 15 via the provided link.

Those who register for the EQE 2026, meet the necessary requirements, and whose application is approved by the EPO will be eligible for support.

For more detailed information, please refer to the attached documents and the EPO’s official website.
