Event Listing

Alex will take you through the most recent updates in EPO case law, starting with the currently pending referrals G 1/25 and G 1/26, the latter of which raises a number of interesting questions, including the suitability of the European Patent Organisation to act as an effective instrument to harmonise the case law of its judicial bodies. Or, to put it another way: how has it taken almost half a century to settle the proper approach to claim interpretation? Time permitting, the session will look at a number of less widely discussed recent decisions that deserve attention.
