Webinar: Terms of Engagement

Venue

Online

Description

The terms on which a client engages the services of a patent attorney can be the most important aspects of the resulting business relationship. Aside from their obvious purpose of establishing the situation in the event of any dispute, carefully drafted terms of engagement can determine the entire nature of dealings between the client and attorney. Correctly written terms can make the difference between a collaborative relationship and a fractious one.

In this webinar Timothy Powell and Julia Gwilt will explore some of the basic legal considerations, in several key EPC Contracting States, that underlie good terms of engagement. From there the presenters will examine the minimum terms that are believed to be desirable. Finally, the main features of a number of a set of terms drafted with the aim of being acceptable in as many jurisdictions as possible are reviewed.

The webinar will be recorded and only made available on our epi-learning platform to participants who have registered for the webinar.
