Pre-Examination book: Questions and Answers, a legal Study Guide, claim interpretation cases and our own model solutions for the two mock exams

An essential part of EQE preparation is to practice applying the law by answering many questions. Using our many years of experience, we have identified about 250 questions that cover the core subjects that candidates may need to deal with at the Pre-Exam. About 100 of these are provided in a True/False format, so that candidates can practice answering such questions, and test their progress in an efficient manner. The answers provide an explanation why the answer should be True or False, together with the relevant legal basis for further investigation. Many of these questions have already been used in our existing Pre-Exam training and methodology courses.

Most of the questions are not in True/False format - they are kept as open questions because this allows reasoning and correct application of the law to be checked when preparing and learning. The exact place where the reasoning fails can then be identified.

The book contains:
 

  • 1: Introduction - how to prepare for the Pre-Exam and how to use this book
  • 2: Pre-Exam Study Guide - references to essential reading for each module - key topics, relevant articles and rules, Guidelines & Applicants Guide references
  • 3: Legal Questions and Answers- to test the absorption and comprehension of studied EPC and PCT topics
  • 4: Claim Analysis Questions and Answers - to test substantive legal topcis such as novelty, inventive step, extension of subject matter and clarity
  • 5: Claim Analysis Cases - to test application of the legal concepts to small cases, based on previous EQE exams
  • 6: Two mock Pre-Exams - the papers of March and September 2011 from the EQE Examination Board, together with our proprietary model solutions explaining why the answers should be True or False
