This masterclass will provide you with an intensive and practical overview of all relevant legal and practical issues concerning opposition and appeal proceedings before the EPO.
The revised Rules of Procedure of the Boards of Appeal (RPBA 2020) have changed the landscape for both opposition and appeal proceedings. They have a decisive impact on how the parties should present their case right from the beginning in order to avoid any later procedural and legal hurdles or pitfalls. It is emerging that invalid patents may be upheld if an opponent does not adequately present its case from the outset. For a patentee, valuable inventions may lose patent protection if procedural hurdles are not timely anticipated. This masterclass will therefore provide you with an intensive overview of all relevant legal and practical issues concerning opposition and appeal proceedings before the EPO, taking into account the most recent case law. In this highly interactive course, the speakers will explain all the important aspects of these proceedings, starting with the preparation of the opposition, covering the drafting of the notice of opposition, and concluding with the procedure before the opposition division of the EPO, as well as the potential subsequent appeal proceedings. In addition to the legal, formal and substantive requirements and particularities of contentious proceedings, the speakers will discuss useful tactical and strategic aspects. The individual parts of the seminar will be rounded up by tips for your own practice.
Please note that the details of the programme are so far preliminary and still subject to minor changes.
On the first evening of the course participants are invited to a joint dinner where they can continue to network with the speakers and the other participants.
This masterclass is restricted to 20 attendees.
