US Patent Seminar

Filing Strategies and the Evolving Litigation Landscape in Europe --- Latest European Patent System Mix --- 　　　　　 There are many ways to obtain patent protection in Europe, such as national filings, EP filings and PCT national phases. And in cases of grants before the EPO, there is now the additional option of obtaining a unitary patent. Choosing the best route can be quite daunting, as it depends on a number of factors, such as area of protection, timing considerations, differences between the procedures and budget. A customized filing strategy may thus not only streamline prosecution but may also cut prosecution costs significantly. This seminar aims at explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the various options. Moreover, we will take a look at the changing litigation landscape due to the recently established UPC (Unified Patent Court), and discuss the latest UPC trends. In particular, after the Brexit, it is important to understand respective coverage areas. The seminar will be given in Japanese. Lecturer : Dipl.-Ing. Univ. Friedemann Horn, Esq. Firm : HORN KLEIMANN WAITZHOFER Sponsor: Orion International Patent Office - Ikebukuro Reservation is required. Please contact Mr. Aikawa. DATE: May 29, 2025 (Thu) from 6:30pm to 8:30pm Venue: JPAA (next to JPO) B1, Conference AB Costs: None Reception with beer and snacks after the seminar. Updated: April 13, 2025
