Description
The "Case Law" seminar provides you with an overview of the most recent key decisions and developments in the EPO’s board of appeal case law. This collection of lectures offers a range of subjects, including procedural and substantive topics, and with a mixture of general-interest and more field-specific topics.
Organised by the epi with the support of the EPO Boards of the Appeal and the European Patent Academy, the seminar also includes the demonstration of a mock EPO Oral Proceedings. The speakers are epi experts, and one technical and one legal member of the Boards of Appeal.
The seminar will include discussion of the most recent Enlarged Board of Appeal decisions and other recent significant board of appeal case law, which every patent attorney should have in mind during examination proceedings, as well as during opposition and appeal proceedings. The speakers will also discuss important tactical and strategic aspects that identify how the decisions can act as useful tools, as well as guidance for avoiding pitfalls.
Key topics will includes specific applications of the problem-and-solution approach.
The programme will also include sessions on procedural matters as well as a mock oral proceeding.
Target group
The seminar is intended for patent attorneys, heads and members of patent and legal departments and attorneys at law.
