1. General information about the CH/LI Patent Register

Based on the treaty between the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on Patent Protection as well as Articles 142(1) & 149 EPC there is a unitary patent for Switzerland and Liechtenstein. As a consequence, there is no separate National Patent Register for Liechtenstein and all granted patents, both national and EP patents, are valid in both countries.

5Invalidation dateYesCurrently, only the "Patent Expired" date is delivered, when it is in the past. The current implementation does not consider any "event based" data.
Hence, only patents that have "naturally" expired may deliver the "Patent Expired" Date.
Patents that have been invalidated due to any other "event" do not deliver a "Patent Expired" and will therefore not show an invalidation date.
See the Quick Help Page for more information how this is relates to the displayed "Invalidation date" and "Not in force since" fields.
