The course looks at six real-life cases, each of which we
plan to discuss in two virtual classrooms. In the first VC for each case we
will analyse the case and the strategy, and in the second we will discuss the
solutions proposed. Each case will focus on a particular tool in EPOQUE Net,
and you will be asked to carry out searches using these tools.
The cases are uploaded in the course room so that you can
prepare for the VCs. You should familiarise yourself with the case and draw up
a solution for it. We will then compare your solution with the solutions
provided by the tutors and the other participants.
You should also watch the relevant videos (see the
respective sections) in advance.
This
course room offers access to two videos giving an overview of the main changes
to the Guidelines and their impact on formalities and examiner procedures.
In this course, you will discover how to devise an effective search strategy, how to evaluate the prior art you find and how to know when to stop searching.find out about the role and importance of strategies in the search process.
In some cases, national authorities may license companies or individuals other than the patent owner to use the rights of the patent without the consent of the patent owner. “Compulsory licensing in Europe” provides a country-by-country overview of compulsory licensing regimes across the 38 EPC contracting states including possible grounds for grant, procedural framework and jurisprudence.
Every patent application is assigned a category in one of the major patent classification schemes to ensure it can be found in subsequent searches by patent offices and other interested parties. Learn more about how this is done.
This distance learning course is offered to patent examiners of national IP offices, in particular those in charge of drafting communications on the merits of a patent application with respect to patentability requirements. Participants will broaden their skills in preparing the written search opinion accompanying a search report according to EPO Guidelines. Training will consist of on-line modules and tests. Recorded sessions of virtual classrooms which took place during the course OD09-2017 further enhance the understanding of the topics.

The conference Examination Matters has become the meeting place for patent attorneys
dealing with the EPO in the patent granting procedure. This course room
offers access to the recordings of three public webinars covering some of the most popular topics of the event.
The European Patent Office addressed the
challenges and opportunities of patenting Artificial Intelligence at a one-day
conference on 30 May 2018, which connected people from business, academia, the
judiciary, policy making and patent offices. This course room offers access to
the recordings of the lectures and panel discussions.
This course comprises 26 recorded lectures in which expert examiners present
their CPC technical fields.
The lectures
are based on the presentations delivered during the CPC field-specific trainings
that took place in 2018 in The Hague and in 2019 in Munich. The events were aimed at
staff who use the CPC in classification at national offices in both member
states and non-member states.
This self-paced training course deals with the role of patents in innovation and research, the conditions an invention has to meet in order to become a patent and how to use patent documentation for a particular research project.
On 4 December 2018 the EPO hosted as the first
major patent office a conference entitled “Patenting Blockchain”, an event
designed to open a discussion around the impact of Blockchain on the patent
system. This course room offers access to the recordings of the lectures and
panel discussions.
This course room offers access to material covering a range of topics
related to computer-implemented inventions, from patentability requirements to
new technologies and specific uses of CII in fields like biotech and healthcare.
This course room offers
access to material covering topics related to the substantive European patent
law applicable specifically to healthcare and EPO's approach to examining
patent applications in this field.
