Webinar: Unity of Invention

Webinar: Unity of Invention is open for registration!

The webinar will focus on the practice of the EPO when it comes to lack of unity, both for the European and the PCT procedure. The most recent changes in the Guidelines concerning the EPO’s practice will be discussed as well. The webinar will also attempt to provide some tips on how professional representatives can handle these objections or try to avoid them.
