Inventive step: technical features and technical problems

The aim of this workshop is to allow participants to further understand the concepts of technical feature and technical problem in the assessment of inventive step. 

Through examples and exercises in accessible technical fields, participants will be able to understand the differences between technical and non-technical features as well as be able to properly identify the underlying technical problem the invention is solving. 

The workshop includes two live sessions. The first one focuses on the theoretical aspects as well as presenting examples. The second session will build upon the previously discussed topics, explore further examples and expand on the formulation of problem solution approach.

Registration is closed.
