The very first
President of the EPO, Mr Johannes Bob van Benthem, expressed the wish to
establish a permanent forum for exchanges with interested circles shortly after
the opening of the EPO in 1978. The inaugural meeting of SACEPO was held on 12
January 1979 with yearly meetings taking place ever since. In addition to this
Main SACEPO meeting, further theme-focused Working Parties of SACEPO were added
over the years to deepen the exchange with users - the Working Parties on
Patent Documentation and Information (1982), on Rules (1996), on Guidelines
(1998), on the e-Patent-Process (2016) and on Quality (2017).
