EAPO, short for Eurasian Patent Organization, is an intergovernmental organization that plays a crucial role in the functioning of the Eurasian patent system and the granting of Eurasian patents. Comprised of the Eurasian Patent Office and the Administrative Council, EAPO serves as the executive body for the Eurasian Patent Convention (EAPC). The Eurasian Patent Office, headed by the President, acts as the representative of the Organization and oversees its operations.

As a legal entity, EAPO possesses the necessary legal capacity in each Contracting State, allowing it to acquire and dispose of property and defend its rights in courts. Based in Moscow, Russia, EAPO operates in accordance with the national legislation of the member states. The official language of the Organization is Russian.

It enjoys rights, privileges, and immunities similar to other international organizations within the territories of the Contracting States. With a focus on providing exemplary patent-related services, EAPO offers various resources and publications, including patent searches, normative legal acts, protection of inventions and designs, and methodical materials. They also facilitate international cooperation between Eurasian States, national patent offices, and international and regional organizations.

For inquiries and contacts, EAPO can be reached via phone, fax, or email. Their office in Moscow is open from Monday to Friday, making them easily accessible for any procedural matters or general inquiries. Overall, EAPO plays a vital role in promoting and protecting intellectual property rights in the Eurasian region, offering comprehensive services and resources to support inventors, innovators, and patent applicants
