The development, commercialisation and optimisation of a new chemical technology involves significant, ongoing R&D effort. The EPO gives patent applicants more opportunities than you might think for protecting the valuable output of this R&D. In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll talk through how to use these opportunities to develop and implement a patent strategy that will maximise the value of your patent portfolio in Europe, both in the short and longer term.
We’ll consider:
-
products defined by their process of manufacture or their physical / performance characteristics;
-
the patentability of products defined by their purity;
-
the opportunities offered by the EPO’s problem-solution approach for assessing obviousness of new synthetic routes; and
-
how to protect a new use of a known product.
We hope you’ll be able to join us.
