The 2-day course aims to give candidates an insight into how to handle a paper B (answering a communication) of the European Qualifying Examination. By the end of the course the candidates will have learnt how to analyse the prior art, client’s letter, the application as filed and the communication to define novel, inventive and clear claims which provide the client with maximum protection. Candidates will be able to amend the claims, and to answer the communication. Where relevant, we will use WISEflow, giving candidates the opportunity to get familiar with the system used during the e-EQE.
