eFiling
Online filing at the Luxembourg Intellectual Property Office
The Luxembourg Intellectual Property Office (hereafter LU OPI) offers online services that allow you to create and to file patents electronically, as well as to create and send other patent-related documents electronically to the LU OPI.
The online services offered by the LU OPI use a software package developed by the European Patent Office (hereafter EPO) called "electronic On Line Filing" (eOLF) via a Luxembourg server as well as the smart cards issued by the EPO in order to ensure the security of online filing.
In this context, the LU OPI offers you the following online filing services:
- the filing of a Luxembourg patent application;
- the filing of documents produced after the filing of a Luxembourg patent application or the grant of a Luxembourg patent.
How to access the online filing services offered by the LU OPI
You can apply for the smartcard at the EPO.
You must activate the smartcard before use and then register at the LU OPI.

Follow the instructions from the EPO when you receive the smartcard.
After registering at the LU OPI, we would be grateful if you could respect the following steps:
- Send an e-mail to BPP-Helpdesk@eco.etat.lu to confirm your registration at the LU OPI;
- LU OPI will then confirm the activation of your access in order to be able to carry out a test in "demo mode". If you are an agent, LU OPI will also send you your "Agent ID" which can be used in the eOLF interface;
- After validation of the test in "demo mode", LU OPI will confirm the activation of your access in "production mode" for you to submit your applications.
The smartcard also gives you access to MyPage.
