Oral proceedings in opposition at the EPO

This workshop is for professional representatives seeking to learn how to present a case in the most effective way in front of an opposition division. A trainer with a background in acting, experienced patent attorneys and senior examiners with many years of experience in oral proceedings will guide participants through a range of hearings. Mock oral proceedings designed to let attendees experience different events in real time in a variety of roles (opposition division, proprietor or opponent), along with preparatory documentation provided in advance, will allow participants to put the presentation skills they have acquired into practice.  

Basic experience in oral proceedings is recommended. This is an advanced workshop and is not suitable for trainees. 

This workshop is organised in collaboration with the epi. 

This training activity is planned in Q2. Exact dates and details to be announced.
