Haseltine Lake - European Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys - Intellectual Property Advice
 

2 SEMINARS IN USA - Oppositions Procedure at the European Patent Office

July 2008

*30 September - Washington, 2 October - Boston*

How much do you or others in your practice know about the European Patent Office (EPO) opposition procedure? Research in the US and Canada suggests relatively low awareness of this procedure, yet it is the most powerful tool by which the validity of a European Patent can be challenged. It can be used by your clients to attack their competitors’ patents in Europe, or used by those competitors to strike at your clients’ patents.

In response to increasing interest in the EPO opposition procedure, Haseltine Lake is hosting one-day seminars in Washington D.C. and Boston - ideal opportunities to learn from Haseltine Lake’s experienced and highly successful European Opposition team.

The seminars will bring to your attention the benefits and risks of EPO oppositions, and practical and procedural matters. The potential relevance of parallel US litigation will be addressed. A mock EPO opposition hearing will give a real insight into substantive and tactical issues.
