Patent Knowledge Week 2022
Registration is now open
This year's Patent Knowledge Week is taking place from 4 to 7 October. The event aims to help all innovation professionals base their decisions on sound patent knowledge. We are pleased to inform you that registration is now open.
During the conference, we will explore the Unitary Patent, the link between patents and sustainable development, the role IP knowledge plays in the medical field, and much more besides.
Visit the patent knowledge clinics to ask EPO experts your questions on topics such as search tools, patent data, the basics of patent searching, patent systems worldwide, and the different types of IP protection available. They will also present some practical examples from their day-to-day work based on topics frequently mentioned in user requests.
Register now to ensure you don't miss out.
