Download or read book EPC App written by Stefan Ahlers and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-07 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EPC.App is an annotated European Patent Convention (EPC), which focuses on finding the most relevant information quickly. On more than 400 coloured pages, all articles, rules and protocols of the EPC as well as the Rules relating to Fees are fully reproduced. These are provided with selected abstracts from the Examination Guidelines, Official Journal articles and case law, as well as numerous cross-references. For quick access, parts of the EPC are provided with an edge index visible on the closed book's edge, articles are always started at the top of a page, and related rules of the Implementing Regulations are assigned to the articles. The commenting is performed in a two-column layout, which allows non-disrupted reading of the legal texts in the left column, as well as authors' comments assigned to the individual paragraphs in the right column. Comments are generally kept in a short style, reduced to the essentials, and distinct in colour from official texts. Authors' comments can also be found as short references within the legal texts, as well as below them in the form of more detailed summaries of the legal situation. The texts are further provided with coloured markings of important key terms, time limits, fees, languages, and legal consequences. Some space is kept free in the right column and below the legal texts to add your own comments. In addition to this printed version, the entire content of the EPC.App is also available as an electronic book implemented as a web browser application (App), which allows each registered user to add own comments electronically and to receive updates from the authors without losing own user comments. Via the App, users can edit the content (e.g. remove individual authors' markings or comments and add own ones), have their adaptations saved in a personal cloud storage, access and navigate the annotated EPC from anywhere via an internet connection, receive automatic updates of legal texts and authors' comments, and create a printable PDF-file, which includes all self-edited annotations and closely reproduces the layout displayed on the web browser, corresponding to this printed version. The November 2018 Edition has been updated to the legal status valid as of 01 November 2018 (including the Examination Guidelines of November 2018), clearly indicates law coming into force on this date, and is dedicated for use in the European Qualifying Examination 2019.

Download or read book Overview of the Appeal Proceedings according to the EPC written by Hugo Meinders and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overview of the Appeal Proceedings According to the EPC Third Edition Hugo Meinders, Philipp Lanz & Gérard Weiss About this book: Overview of the Appeal Proceedings According to the EPC helps in understanding the nature of the appeal proceedings before the Boards of Appeal. The previous editions of this book made an effort to explain in brief introductory terms how appeal proceedings work and how the Boards of Appeal function. This edition deals with the New Rules of Procedure adopted by the BoAC2 and approved by the Administrative Council which entered into force on 1 January 2020. About one in a hundred European patent cases end up before a Board of Appeal. The appeal reviews the decision of a first instance department of the European Patent Office. The appeal proceedings are substantially different from the first instance proceedings; they are a judicial review and not necessarily a continuation of the administrative first instance proceedings. This first aspect is even more pronounced since 1 January 2020, with the changes in the Rules of Procedure of the Boards of Appeal. What’s in this book: This book provides an easily readable overview of the appeal proceedings in the three official languages of the European Patent Office (EPO): English, German and French, including the (New) Rules of Procedure of the Boards of Appeal and the Enlarged Board of Appeal. It covers amongst others the following: (new) requirements on filing an appeal; the possible actions of the Board; the stricter treatment of late filings of the parties; and the conduct of oral proceedings and the issue of the decision. This book gives an up-to-date account of the most important issues of the appeal proceedings at the Boards of Appeal of the EPO. How this will help you: This book is intended as a reference book for applicants in ex-parte (examination appeal) proceedings, or patent proprietors or opponents in inter-partes (opposition appeal) proceedings, as appellants or respondents, or party as of right. It facilitates in finding an answer to issues that a party may encounter. Editors: Hugo Meinders, Philipp Lanz & Gérard Weiss

Download or read book European SPCs Unravelled written by Oswin Ridderbusch and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-06-18 with total page 898 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While supplementary protection certificates (SPCs) are governed by the same substantive rules in all Member States of the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA), they are national intellectual property rights. The formal requirements and procedural practices of the national patent offices granting SPCs still differ significantly, and these divergences can have a substantial impact on the prosecution of SPCs across Europe. This one-of-a-kind handbook provides an in-depth review of SPC law in Europe, covering all substantive and procedural aspects of prosecution, enforcement and invalidation, as well as SPC-related aspects of unfair competition law. Following an overarching European chapter, which addresses general considerations and the relevant European Union law, including the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice (CJEU) and the EFTA Court, this book contains detailed national chapters for all European states that provide SPCs − i.e., the twenty-seven EU Member States (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden), the EEA/EFTA states Norway and Iceland, as well as the United Kingdom, Switzerland/Liechtenstein, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and North Macedonia. The contributors to this book, all seasoned experts in the field of SPCs in their respective jurisdictions, provide clear and hands-on guidance on the most pertinent SPC-related topics of practical and strategic relevance. The considerably expanded second edition of this handbook offers a comprehensive analysis of European SPC law and practice, covering all European states with SPC systems in detailed national chapters. As such, this book provides invaluable assistance to IP practitioners in devising successful pan-European SPC filing and litigation strategies. Its practice-oriented approach, in combination with a country-by-country format where all chapters follow the same structure, makes it easy to compare the national practices and the respective national case law of the different European countries. ‘The present work fills a gap and provides, for the first time, an overview of the SPC practice in the EU Member States, which despite the intended harmonization by the respective EU legislation is still decidedly inconsistent in some areas. Altogether, this successful work, with its streamlined structure and clear language that is immediately comprehensible even to non-native speakers, functions not “only” as a source of information for European attorneys, authorities and courts. It also conveys – perhaps not at all intended by the authors – the unique diversity of this European legal regime, which for many exerts a special fascination. The present Practitioner’s Guide can be recommended without reservation and should not be missing in any specialist library.’ – Jürgen Schell, Judge at the German Federal Patent Court, on the first edition of this book.
