New Member State For The EPO: Macedonia

The European Patent Office has announced (link) that the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has ratified the European Patent Convention and will become a member of the European Patent Organisation on 1 January 2009.
The European Patent Organisation's members include all 27 EU member states plus Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia also recognise European patent applications and patents on their territory.
A market of about 570 million people can potentially be reached using European patents.
