European patent applications may also be filed in electronic form with the DPMA using the PaTrASINT software.

Notice from the European Patent Office dated 19 March 2004 concerning the electronic filing of European patent applications with the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA) has been published, saying that as from 22 March 2004 European patent applications, including all drawings, may also be filed in electronic form with the DPMA using the PaTrASINT software provided free of charge by the DPMA. Users of PaTrASINT software must comply not only with the technical and legal requirements which apply when European patent applications are filed electronically at the DPMA but also with the EPC's provisions and the EPO's rules governing the filing of patent applications and other documents.
