Much new case-law on procedural and substantive matters: our speakers will keep you updated in two days in beautiful Heidelberg!
The decisions of the Boards of Appeal (BoA) of the EPO set the standard for interpreting and applying the EPC. It is therefore vital for
practitioners to keep up to date with the latest developments of the jurisprudence of the BoA. A lot has happened recently in
case law, be it in procedural or substantive matters.
The most important published and unpublished decisions of the BoA will be presented. The panelists will discuss, in particular, the consequences of these decisions on patent practice, in particular with respect to the basis of the appeal proceedings and the admittance of late filed submissions (new requests, prior art and arguments).
Do you work in a corporate patent/IP department or as a patent attorney in private practice? Do you need to be up to
date on EPO case-law?
Then this update course is designed for you. Knowledge of patents is assumed. This course is also useful to advanced EQE candidates.
Please note that the agenda of the course may be varied to include relevant new decisions published between the dates of this brochure and the seminar and other possible developments.
