4 KADOR & PARTNER The Lectures Presented by the Kador & Partner attorneys, the lectures will be enriched by the valuable contribution of prominent IP professionals from the EPO, private practice and industry. First, an overview of the European patent system and of the major procedural steps up to the granting of the application and of the available post grant procedures will be provided. Then, the following topics will be discussed in more details. Exceptions to patentability Subject matter not accessible to patent protection will be discussed in light of the most recent board of appeal decisions. Particular emphasis will be given to the EPO practice with respect to biotechnology inventions. Exemplary topics cover methods for treatment, diagnostic methods, dosage regimen, biological inventions and breaches of morality. Novelty The established principles of novelty will first be presented. Then, drawing from the existing case law, the lecture will focus on the novelty requirements of selection inventions; medical and non medical use claims; product by process claims and disclaimers. Availability of information to the public for the purpose of assessing novelty as well as public prior use will also be discussed. Inventive step The well-defined problem-solution-approach to assess inventive step using the perspective of the skilled person will be outlined and explained in detail by way of examples. The session will also deal with the definitions of person skilled in the art, state of the art and with the use of these definitions in the assessment of inventive step. Specific attention will be given to partial problems, selection inventions, optimizations of parameters and new uses. Clarity/Disclosure of the invention The requirements of Art. 83 EPC concerning sufficiency of disclosure and of Art.84 EPC concerning the clarity of the claims will be analyzed. The extent of disclosure necessary, in particular with reference to the examples of the invention as well as the extent of generalization allowed under the EPC will be outlined. The principles for drafting claims in conformity to the clarity requirements will be discussed.

5 Amendments The allowable amendments of the application and claims will be discussed in view of the increasingly stringent requirement of Art. 123(2) EPC and the most recent, relevant board of appeal decision will be presented. The extent to which voluntary amendments are possible will be described. Community patent The main principles behind the EU patent, European Patent with unitary effect in the countries of the EP community, will be presented. The correlation between the EPC and the EU patent, translation requirements and the upcoming patent court system receive specific attention. The most recent developments as well the date of entry into force will be discussed. A prospective view on the unified patent litigation system will be given. Opposition and Appeal procedure The lecture will offer a summary of background information and recent development in the practice of opposition and appeal in front of the EPO. Drawing on case law and on the speakers experience, strategies to defend or attack a European patent in these third parties proceedings will be presented. The lecture will also focus on admissibility of evidences and amendments. Attending to an oral proceeding in an opposition case is envisaged. Patent filing strategies and patent policies The importance of developing a patent filing strategy and a patent policy to improve the efficiency and to save costs in a global patent department will be discussed. Guidance to define the policy that suits your needs will be provided.
