It is crucial to understand the fundamentals and the intricacies of European claim drafting so you are equipped to prove patent infringement and patent validity, especially in multi-jurisdictional patent litigation.
These intensive two days will help you refine your drafting skills and master the art of successfully preparing and defending claims according to European practice. You will learn the techniques to achieve adequate protection while meeting official requirements and analyse the crucial aspects of good description, amendments and interpretation to give you the edge in claims drafting.
The in-depth chemical and mechanical workshops will give you the opportunity to apply the knowledge learnt on day one and practise the skills acquired in the safe environment of the training room. There will also be ample opportunity for you to ask the experts your particular questions and find solutions to your specific claim drafting issues.
This seminar combines a full day of claim drafting fundamentals with a further day of focused workshops. Attendees have the choice to attend either a mechanical or chemical workshop on day two.
PLEASE NOTE:
Attendees will benefit from bringing a copy of the European Patent Convention with them.
This course is part of our collection of IP & Patents Training Courses.

Overall opinion is that it was great. Interesting content, well presented, nice speakers that involved the audience. The level of difficulty and complexity was spot on for me, I knew about some things beforehand, but new information was scattered throughout which always kept things interesting.

[Speakers were] Energetic and willing to share their knowledge and professional experience. Created a good atmosphere which made possible the attendees to intervene. The speakers always took the best from their audience and incorporated in the flow of the lesson. The content was very well organized to include all the important aspects of EPC and the case law seemed easy to understand. The speakers were very focused and insisted on the important aspects, not only for those preparing for the EQE, but business view.

The speakers were both very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject and provided some good insights and personal reflections on the course material. The content of the course was excellent, and the second day (mechanical workshop) was particularly good because learning by doing is more beneficial for my learning process.

Professional speakers coming from two different technical fields gave valuable insights on how to structure claims. The best part of the course was practising claim drafting and learning how to better build suitable claims.

I thought it was a brilliant course that I would recommend to others. It was really good that there were so few people so one could ask all the "stupid" beginners' questions in a closed forum.
