Webinar: Mastering Patent Drafting for CII - Topics & Pitfalls

Venue

Online

Description

This webinar aims at equipping　patent practitioners with strategies and drafting considerations to minimize prosecution hurdles and strengthen patent enforceability for Computer-Implemented Inventions at the EPO. Computer-implemented inventions (CIIs) are patentable under the EPC if they demonstrate a technical character, following the Comvik approach (T 641/00), supported by G 3/08 and G 1/19. Only features contributing to a technical effect are considered for inventive step, and thus effective claim drafting requires clarity, technical detail, and alignment with technical effect and problem to be solved.
