1-day D Crash Methodology (part of D Guided Trial Run)

Although many candidates have the time and resources to follow a full methodology course well before the exam, we regularly have participants who are not-prepared for the Guided Trial Run course. To avoid the frustration felt by all, we have introduced this optional day to reduce the difference in levels. In one day, we discuss how to optimize the time spent on DI and DII, and practice efficiently answering DI questions and a DII exercise. The theory is kept to a minimum, and only the essential elements are taught. This gives a solid basis for getting the most out of the Guided Trial Run part, which is for most candidates the last training before the exam.

The following topics are covered

General

How to prepare for the D paper

Time management

Styles and detail of answering

DI-specific

Reading and analyzing the question

Sufficient legal basis

When is something relevant or not relevant

DII specific

Analyzing the client’s letter

Organizing the information using tools such as a timeline

Dealing with recurring problems such as public disclosure dates, invalid priorities, “first application”, insufficiency of disclosure, non-prejudicial disclosures, entitlement

Advising the client and improving his position

Recognizing threats from the competitor

Materials

A book with sheets on DI and DII Methodology, D Methodology tools and templates

Materials for use at the EQE, including methodology flowcharts for DI and DII

Checklists and examples of phrasing

DeltaPatents' own model solutions for the DI and DII papers practiced during the course
