Guide to the Formal Requirements of the European Patent System - A Course for Administrative Staff
Central London TBA London, United Kingdom
April 18, 2013
Timed as the Intellectual Property Office takes forward ongoing measures in response to the Hargreaves Review of Intellectual Property and Growth - and as EU policymakers approach a finalised unitary patent system - this seminar will bring together key industry stakeholders and intellectual property lawyers to assess the future of the UK patent framework. Sessions will focus on the year ahead for patent policy at both domestic and international levels, and will assess how reforms can promote innovation and growth in the UK economy, as well as ensure effective enforcement mechanisms for rights holders.
Delegates will have the opportunity to discuss proposals for operational reforms following on from Hargreaves' recommendations - with particular reference to measures to reduce backlogs, improve registration quality and avoid "patent thickets" - and will examine how such reforms might better support innovation and growth in the UK economy. Discussion will also assess the future of patent enforcement, looking at domestic changes to the Patent County Court, as well as how the forthcoming EU unitary patent court system can support UK interests.
