This course is especially for candidates, having acquired sufficient knowledge in the Foundation module and the Main Exam Paper D1/M2 – EIPEF module. The candidates will be trained on focusing to use the knowledge in an efficient way in order to pass the exam. Particular emphasis is given to the Paper D Part 2 (Legal Opinion based on a client’s letter). This hybrid course features onsite introductory and paper discussion sessions in Utrecht, The Netherlands, followed by online mock exams in WISEflow, ensuring a flexible and comprehensive learning experience.

Methodology for dealing with the most common situations in the D exam. By the end of this course, you will understand how to score high points on D for the things that you know well and the things you do well. You will understand what must be handed-in to get points, and you will have practiced a proven approach for generating answers. We will discuss alternative answers and different styles that can also score points. You will also be given many rules-of-thumb to guide this approach, based on our many years of EQE experience. We will also provide practical tips about how to organize your reference materials, how to study, what to take to the exam and how to divide your time between DI and DII parts. Where relevant, we will use WISEflow, giving you the opportunity to get familiar with the system used during the e-EQE.

During your preparation, you need to practice questions and papers to teach yourself how to read questions, to analyse the legal issues, to decide what to write and the detail level of your answer. However, it is difficult to judge your own progress, and comparing your own answers with model answers is not the best way to tune your skills. This course includes the marking and comments by the tutor on a homework paper (hand-in well before the course) to provide you with objective, individual feedback, as well as an in-session guided step-by-step execution of another paper. You will use the EQE exam system WISEflow to practice your paper.
By the end of this course, you will have received individual feedback from the tutor, have more experience in solving DI questions and DII cases efficiently, and have a picture of the areas where you need to improve.

An added hurdle to passing the D paper is the limited time to answer. You need to practice dividing your time over the DI and the DII parts, and then answering questions using our own reference material to efficiently generate high-scoring answers. This 4-day course provides a final test of EQE readiness by practicing with the recent D papers under limited time. During this course, we will use WISEflow, giving you the opportunity to get familiar with the system used during the e-EQE. You will be guided by a knowledgeable tutor through the solution of part of the papers, and solve the other parts on your own. You will learn about tactics for the paper, legal issues, exam technique, answering style and alternative solutions. By the end of the course, you will have identified your legal and methodology weaknesses, and will know the areas that you need to concentrate on in the last few weeks before sitting the EQE. 

Practice a few weeks before the real exam in order to adjust your method, on papers as close as possible to the final exam. Get an evaluation on your level for each paper, thanks to a personalized marking of each paper, comments and advices from the tutor, in particular on the methodology used and the structure of your answer.
Based on the outcome, make final adjustments to your methodology before the exam.
Please note that we will use WISEflow for this course.
2 different mock exams are organized, based on 2 different papers, which have been designed by the tutor:

• Mock Exam 1 D

Since 2022 DeltaPatents has been offering this unique Paper D distance learning course for candidates preparing for EQE Main Exam Paper D. This course not only includes our D1 and D2 Methodology (1 full-day D1 Methodology and 3-full days D2 Methodology and cases), but also gives candidates the opportunity to gear up their legal level by augmenting and deepening the knowledge acquired during the Pre-Exam Legal training to a level of EQE Main Exam. To achieve this, we use the Main Exam Paper D Questions and Answers book as homework and present more advanced legal subjects. 

The course aims at augmenting and deepening the knowledge acquired during the Basic (Foundation) Legal Training to a level required for the Paper D Part 1 of the EQE Main Exam / Paper M2 of the new EQE Main Exam). Legal lectures will cover legal changes in the EPC & PCT since the Foundation, the more advanced legal subjects such as entitlement, enforcement, and petition for review. The Ancillary Regulations will be covered, as well as a specially selected subset of case law. Major part of this course is practicing D1 questions. This hybrid course features an onsite introductory session in Utrecht, The Netherlands, followed by interactive online sessions and mock exams  in WISEflow, ensuring a flexible and comprehensive learning experience.

This course is aimed at candidates who are preparing for the final Paper D in EQE 2026, and also for those passed the Foundation Paper in EQE in 2025 and plan to take the Paper M1 in EQE 2026. We strongly advise candidates to prepare for papers M1 and M2 in the same year.

Methododik für den Umgang met den häufigsten Situationen in der D-Prüfung. Am Ende dieses Kurse werden Sie verstehen, wie Sie bei D ohne hohe Punktzahl erzielen können. Sie werden verstehen, was aufgeschrieben und eingereicht werden muss, um Punkte zu erhalten, und Sie werden einen bewährten Ansatz zur Generierung von Antworten üben. Dieser Kurs bietet Ihnen einen letzten Test für die EEP-Vorbereitung mit entsprechenten Übungen unter Prüfungsbedingungen. Sie werden von einem fachkundigen Tutor bei der Lösung eines Teils der Aufgaben betreut und lösen die anderen Teile im Alleingang.
Wo es sinnvoll ist, werden wir WISEflow verwenden, so haben Sie die Möglichkeit, sich mit dem System vertraut zu machen, das während der e-EQE verwendet wird.

Eine zusätzliche Hürde bei der Bewältigung der Aufgabe D ist die begrenzte Zeit. Sie müssen also üben, Ihre Zeit für die DI und die DII Fragen richtig einzuteilen, und dann die Fragen unter Verwendung unserer Referenzmaterialien zu beantworten, und Antworten mit hoher Punktezahl niederzuschreiben. Der 4 -Tagekurs bietet Ihnen einen letzten Test für die EEP-Vorbereitung mit entsprechenden Übungen basierend auf den D Aufgaben aus 2015 und 2017 unter Prüfungsbedingungen. Sie werden von einem fachkundigen Tutor bei der Lösung eines Teils der Aufgaben betreut und lösen die anderen Teile im Alleingang. Sie erfahren mehr über die Taktiken für die Bearbeitung der Aufgaben, über Rechtsfragen, Prüftechniken, Antwortgestaltung und alternative Lösungen. Am Ende des Kurses werden Sie Ihre rechtlichen und methodischen Schwachstellen gefunden haben, und Sie werden jene Bereiche kennen, auf die Sie sich in den letzten Wochen vor Ablegen der EEP konzentrieren müssen. Wo es sinnvoll ist, werden wir WISEflow verwenden, so haben Sie die Möglichkeit, sich mit dem System vertraut zu machen, das während der e-EQE verwendet wird.
