epi seminar “Opposition” & “Appeal” supported by the EPO in 2016

The “Opposition and Appeal” seminar will provide you with an intensive and practical overview of all relevant legal and practical issues concerning opposition and appeal proceedings before the European Patent Office.

The speakers will guide you through the various aspects of the proceedings including discussion of the landmark decisions of the Boards of Appeal and the Enlarged Board of Appeal, which every patent attorney should have in mind at the start of and during opposition and appeal proceedings. The speakers will also discuss important tactical and strategic aspects, such as ‘how to draft a European patent application to avoid problems later in opposition and appeal’.
