The law and interpretation of patent claims varies widely in different jurisdictions. Understanding how patent claims are interpreted in different regions is essential when trying to prove patent infringement and validity in order to protect an organisation’s primary assets. This course has been specifically designed for all patent professionals doing business in a complex multi-jurisdictional environment.
The programme, presented by our expert speaker faculty, will include fact-based scenarios and case examples, with comparisons of the USA, UK and German approaches to claim construction and validity determination. The speakers will provide recommendations for both litigating patents and preparing patent applications to the best advantage.
Attending this course will provide the perfect opportunity for interaction with experts in the field, as well as other like-minded participants, who understand the challenges you are facing. There is time during the event for you to ask your questions and discuss any issues of particular concern in relation to patent construction.
