The M1-paper of the new EQE is an entirely new paper without a clear equivalent in the classic EQE. Therefore, an entirely new course has been designed in order to prepare candidates for this paper.

The course builds on the knowledge and skills that candidates have developed with respect to EPC-substantive topics in their preparations for Part 2 of the Foundation Module.  Knowledge of the main substantive topics will be refreshed and deepened, and candidates will be prepared for the new type of exam questions that requires a holistic insight into the European patent system. In addition, the basics of claim drafting from scratch, amending and defending claims and analysis and argumentation with respect to validity of claims will be discussed and practiced.

While still providing a theoretical framework where necessary, the course is focused on building practical skills with respect to analysis, argumentation and drafting. Cases and mock exams play a key role in the course programme.

This course is aimed at candidates who passed the Foundation Module of the EQE in 2025 and plan to take the M1-paper in 2026. We strongly advise candidates to prepare for papers M1 and M2 in the same year.

The M1-paper of the new EQE is an entirely new paper without a clear equivalent in the classic EQE. This Guided Exam Course helps candidates to understand what this paper is about and provides the opportunity to practice using two mock exams that are designed by DeltaPatents.
Prior to the course, participants will be given access to a mock exam in WISEflow. Participants are expected to hand in their answers before the course. The answers to the this mock exam will be discussed during the course. A second mock exam will be practiced during the course, guided and assisted by the tutor. Strategies for tackling typical questions of both Part 1 and Part 2 of the M1 paper will be discussed.
The mock exams that are used in the course are specially designed by the tutors of DeltaPatents, so they provide exclusive additional training material for candidates to practice with in preparation for the M1 paper. 
The course comprises two half-day online session, generally in the morning on two consecutive days. In the afternoon after the first session, candidates will work practice the second mock exam, again in WISEflow. There will be no lecturing in this afternoon, but the tutor will be available for candidates who have questions or run into difficulties. 
In the online sessions, the mock exams will be discussed, along with questions that candidates may have with respect to issues they ran in while doing the two mock papers. 

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.
