This distance
learning course is offered to patent examiners at national IP offices.
Participants will learn to assess novelty and inventive step in line with the
EPO practice (Guidelines and Case Law). Virtual classroom sessions allow for
direct interaction with expert tutors from the European Patent Office.
This series of five one-hour virtual classroom sessions will
introduce the main concepts of IP evaluation and protection. Innovation is the
commercialisation of an invention. Decisions on which technologies should be
developed and which IP assets created must be carefully evaluated. IP needs to
be protected, but protection costs money, so it must be assessed within the
overall context of innovation potential and enforceability. In a global market,
the life-cycle management of patents on a worldwide basis is key to making best
use of the patent system to gain and maintain competitive advantage.
The fee of EUR 100 covers all five one-hour virtual classroom sessions.
This course has been specifically designed for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellows. It looks at the importance of patents as a source of
