epi Students: paper DI - Advanced questions

October 16, 2020

Fifty new legal questions have been prepared to help you prepare for Part I of the 2021 EQE Paper D.

The current questions are aimed to assist in studying: use the questions as an entry into the topic:

  • read the Article and the corresponding Rule(s) in the applicable law;
  • read the corresponding texts in EPO Guidelines, the PCT Applicant’s Guide and where applicable the National Law brochure and/or the
    Euro‑PCT Guide; and
  • read about the topic in a reference book.

Only then, answer the question: not only write down the answer with proper argumentation but also provide the relevant legal basis (50% of the score in Part I of Paper D).
Every week on Monday, three new questions will be posted on the <a href=“https://www.epi-learning.org”target=“_blank“>epi-learning website. One week later, the ‘model answers’ are published, where necessary with comments.

In addition, there will be monthly one-hour webinars where the tutor will explain the difficulties of the questions and, in addition, will answer questions from participants in relation to the questions.

Furter information about the course are available on <a href=“https://www.epi-learning.org”target=“_blank“>epi-learning.
