Last year video conferencing really took off at the EPO and we are seeing it become ever more prevalent as the EPO deals with the growing backlog arising from pandemic-driven travel restrictions. We are excited to welcome Natasa Doslik and Gwilym Roberts back together with Peter Kent to talk about how things have moved on since last year’s webinar on the topic, and to get practical tips from attorneys who have been involved in video conferencing since the pandemic started. It looks like we’re going to be on ViCo for a long time and it looks like the EPO are very keen adopters, so this is an essential opportunity to hear what’s happening now and what’s coming next.
