Scotland Patent Case Law is back and will be taking place on the 8 November 2023 at the Hilton Edinburgh Carlton.
A great opportunity for those who have identified that keeping up to date with the most recent cases across the UK, US, and EPO, is continued competence. Each event will start with a networking lunch, followed by a series of talks and end with a networking drinks reception.
The safety of our members here at CIPA is paramount therefore we have created a COVID-19 Policy for in person events. At all in person events the venues we have carefully chosen will have increased cleaning including sanitizing stations, along with increased ventilation. Lastly, we advise any delegates who are feeling unwell not to attend an in person event. Thank you for your cooperation and on going support.
