European Patent Pipeline Program #

We are proud to be co-founders of the European Patent Pipeline Program (EPPP) – a unique internship opportunity for STEM students to gain experience as a patent attorney. Following the success of the Patent Pipeline Program (PPP) in the US, the EPPP launched in 2023, bringing this opportunity to European companies and students.

At the heart of the EPPP is the intention to widen access to the patent profession by breaking down some of the common barriers to entering the industry through a structured internship opportunity.
