INFORMATION FROM THE EPO
Official Journal special edition – "16th European Patent Judges' Symposium"
From 5 to 7 September 2012, 85 guests – members of the EPO boards of appeal and serving and former judges from 27 EPC contracting and extension states, China and Japan – gathered in Dublin for the 16th European Patent Judges' Symposium, the latest in their now long-established series of meetings to discuss recent developments in patent law.
They conducted their traditional wide-ranging exchange of views on European patent law, and on conclusions to be drawn from the latest decisions taken by courts and patent offices.
The symposium papers and case study will again be published as an OJ special edition (in April 2013).
Since 1 January 2011, OJ subscriptions have no longer included special editions (see the notice from the EPO in OJ 2010, 647).
The "16th European Patent Judges' Symposium" special edition costs EUR 62 and can be ordered from the EPO's Vienna sub-office or online at https://secure.epo.org/products/oj/index.en.php.
