The 2-day course aims to give candidates an insight into how to handle paper A (drafting) of the European Qualifying Examination (EQE). By the end of the course the candidates will have learnt how to analyse the clients letter and prior art and how to define novel, inventive and clear claims which provide the client with maximum protection in the context of paper A. Candidates will be able to identify important hints in the papers leading to the intended solution, and will be able to draft claims and an introductory description in a structured manner for paper A. Where relevant, we will use WISEflow, giving candidates the opportunity to get familiar with the system used during the e-EQE.
