From 16 to 18 March, 2020, in Munich, Germany, the European Patent Academy organises a seminar "Disclosure, clarity and unity in search and examination (intermediate level)”.
The seminar covers sufficiency of disclosure, clarity and unity issues at the search and examination stage within the framework of the European patent granting procedure. The course includes the presentation of strategies for dealing with clarity, unity and sufficiency of disclosure issues and reviews the legal background, with an emphasis on practical cases in the fields of chemistry (biology/pharma/chemistry) and non-chemistry (physics/electricity/mechanics). The harmonisation of practice at the national offices - and the relevant legal differences - are also considered.
