Reviews for Tim’s courses

I was hoping to gain a deeper insight on how other Attorneys and Lawyers pursue Due Diligence and FTO.. it was pretty much perfect, and certainly lived up to my expectations. I thought the speakers provided great variety, informative and clear. They also tailored the presentation to the people who attended, and very patient, and open to answering a wide range of questions. Overall, it was a great day- insightful and highly engaging. I recommend attending the face-to-face session, as it was well tailored to the audience.

It was good! The speakers are great professionals and the slides are really well crafted. I would recommend to colleagues [for] an overview of the US practice related to the software patent application drafting and prosecution.

IP Due Diligence & Freedom to Operate in Practice

Excellent training. The fact that several caselaw and practices were confronted (US, UK , EPO, DE) and also some speaker working in the industry, other working in IP firm. It was enriching to have those different point of view.

My aim was to get an understanding of the difference of a "normal" and a software patent and I think the course covered that excellently.
