Let's embark into the world of evidence preservation under the UPC! Preservation of evidence under the UPC involves safeguarding all forms of proof that may be crucial in legal proceedings. This ensures that the evidence remains intact and uncontaminated for future use. Our experts Agathe Michel-de Cazotte and Chris Mercer discuss the difference between ex parte and inter partes proceedings. Ex parte proceedings occur when only one party is present or heard by the court, typically in urgent situations. On the other hand, inter partes proceedings involve both parties being present and having the opportunity to present their arguments. Requests to produce evidence later in an infringement or revocation procedure can be used in specific cases. These requests are aimed at ensuring that all necessary evidence is available to support the claims or defenses of the parties involved.
This webinar has been designed to provide insights into the practical applications and strategic benefits and possible risks of UPC protective letters. It delved into the basics of drafting and filing UPC protective letters, offering a thorough understanding of their effect and how they can support your interests.
Watch an insightful and comprehensive webinar recording on the topic of patent claim drafting in mechanics. This webinar is designed for patent professionals, innovators, and legal experts who seek to deepen their understanding of mechanical patent claims and enhance their drafting skills.
This webinar explorses and discusses in detail the EPO’s practice on patenting antibodies, dealing with novelty, and, in particular, inventive step/obviousness and sufficiency. This is a very specific and specialist area, important for innovators, generics and biosimilars alike. Our expert speakers Niklas Mattsson and Hans-Rainer Jaenichen will also discuss the EPO Guidelines, case law and practice in this niche area, while Simon Wright will act as Moderator.
In this webinar Timothy Powell and Julia Gwilt will explore some of the basic legal considerations, in several key EPC Contracting States, that underlie good terms of engagement. From there the presenters will examine the minimum terms that are believed to be desirable. Finally, the main features of a number of a set of terms drafted with the aim of being acceptable in as many jurisdictions as possible are reviewed.

The negotiation and execution of IP agreements is a critical element of any successful IP commercialization program. However, this is not typically an area included in the training of a European patent attorney. To help address this skills gap we will host a webinar masterclass in in preparing IP agreements. In this webinar, Filip de Corte – supported by moderator Angela Quinlan, will talk through the do’s and don’ts of IP agreements and give some key tips on how to avoid common pitfalls.
During this webinar, Paul Riley, Alexandra Brodie and Tim Pohlmann are discussing a hotly debated topic in the IP world – the world of Standard Essential Patents (SEPs), moderated by Angela Quinlan. In particular, they will try to get to the core of SEPs and look at how companies can exploit/commercialize their own SEPs. They will also consider how implementers can approach the world of SEP licensing. epi is very fortunate to have some of Europe’s pre-eminent SEP experts to help decipher this continually evolving topic.
This one day seminar is mainly addressed to experienced or intermediate level patent attorneys and aims at providing insight on a freedom-to-operate (FTO) analysis which helps to identify risks involved in bringing a product to market in a country in which you wish to do so, without infringing existing third-party rights.
Our speakers, Olaf Ungerer and Colin McCarney, will present typical steps of an FTO analysis, what you should pay particular attention to, how to develop a search strategy, how to define a search object, how to link search terms, how to interpret patent claims, and how to evaluate found hits and what legal bypass options there are. This seminar will be moderated by Andreas Winter.
There is no opportunity to raise questions when participating in the livestream. You can only watch and listen.
