Patentability and revocation proceedings
The course covers all the fundamental issues, such as the state of the art, claim construction, novelty, inventive step, sufficiency of disclosure, amendment of claims, opposition and appeal procedures. It serves as a "fundamentals" course, which should be completed before attending other training relating to patent litigation and enforcement.
The self-study material is accessible from within a private online course room allowing for flexibility and time management. The self-study material is complemented by weekly interactive and hands-on online group sessions where participants can meet their colleagues from around Europe and discuss specific topics with judicial patent experts.
