30 March 2023 - FAST RESPONSE WEBINAR: EPO Enlarged Board of Appeal decision G2/21 – post-filed data and the death of “plausibility”?

30 March 2023 - FAST RESPONSE WEBINAR: EPO Enlarged Board of Appeal decision G2/21 – post-filed data

The EPO’s Enlarged Board of Appeal has now issued its written decision in referral G2/21, which questioned the admissibility of post-filed data and the overall patentability concept of “plausibility”. The outcome of this referral has been eagerly anticipated, especially in the life sciences and chemistry sectors where post-filed data is often crucial.

Does this decision conclude one of the EPO’s most significant legal challenges of the last few decades? 

In this fast-response webinar, we will:

  • set out the background to the referral, the referred questions, and the answers;

  • present examples illustrating the interplay between plausibility and post-filed data;

  • consider the implications of this decision for applicants and attorneys; and

  • provide top tips for patent drafting in order to minimise the chances of issues during prosecution or in post-grant proceedings.

Join us to stay ahead!
