1. (international standards) Indeterminately reserved ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code for the Eurasian Patent Organization.

This is an indeterminately reserved code, included as part of ISO 3166-1 on the request of the World Intellectual Property Organization due to its former intended use in the WIPO ST.3 standard, and is not endorsed for general use by the ISO. However, the ST.3 standard in fact uses the code EA for this purpose, despite this creating a conflict with ISO 3166-1.
