By uploading an XML file to the EPO's Online Fee Payment service, you create the debit orders for all applications and fees contained in this batch payment.
You can use the Multipay Tool to prepare batch payments for multiple applications. The tool generates an XML file with the payment and account information in offline mode. When you are logged on to Online Fee Payment, you can upload the XML file to create the debit orders for all applications and fees contained in the batch payment.
The Multipay Tool is available free of charge. You can download the software from the EPO website under Applying for a patent > Online services > Paying fees online > Multipay Tool. For detailed information on how to use the tool, refer to the online help or the user guide.
Online Fee Payment accepts XML batch-payment files containing a maximum of 13 000 transactions, i.e. fees to be debited.
