Both during prosecution at the European Patent Office (EPO) and in post-grant opposition, appeal and infringement proceedings there are many potential pitfalls to avoid when drafting patent applications. With high-value chemical products at stake, it’s imperative to give patent applications the best chance of success to build a robust patent portfolio.
In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll provide our insights on drafting to set you up for success in Europe, covering topics including:
-
parameters and the added matter/clarity trap;
-
functional claim language and ‘results to be achieved’; and
-
avoiding added matter issues with numerical ranges.
We hope you can join us!
