IP Administrators - in-depth courses

Working in patent administration is highly complicated due to the many (slightly) different procedures. Our courses aim at providing specific training on many aspects of these procedures to improve both the knowledge and skills of the participant.

General Aspects Patents - Core EPC Procedures

In this 3-day course participants will obtain knowledge of ‘overall issues’ like the priority concept, patent routes and systems, inventor-/ownership, and representation.
After attending this module the participant will be able to file a (priority) application and a European patent application (by fax and/or electronic filing), invoke priority and deal with the most occurring issues for getting a filing date, and dealing with the formalities examination.
Furthermore the participant will have knowledge of the EPC procedure from search to grant as well as of the validation procedure including translations according to the London Agreement. The participant will also be able to carry out and monitor the main procedural steps during all these phases.
