VENUE Morrison Foerster 755 Page Mill Road Palo Alto, CA 94304
Morrison Foerster and Carpmaels & Ransford invite you to a panel discussion exploring topics of imminent relevance in European patent law, in particular the new Unified Patent Court (UPC) and Unitary Patent (UP) systems, as well as topics currently being considered by the Enlarged Board of Appeal of the European Patent Office (EPO). With the UPC and UP systems finally becoming a reality, we’ll look at what decisions need to be made before these systems come online in 2023, how clients should prepare for the change, and what might go wrong. Additionally, the EPO’s Enlarged Board is currently considering the concept of “plausibility” and is also looking at the transfer of priority rights. A hearing on plausibility is scheduled for Thanksgiving and our panel will provide an update on where things seem to be heading as well as strategic considerations. In relation to priority entitlement, this issue has the potential to significantly impact European IP rights. As widely reported, the Broad Institute’s CRISPR patent failed because of flaws in the transfer of rights during the priority year, and we’ll discuss how this issue is now being considered by the Enlarged Board. Morrison Foerster partner Shannon Reaney will moderate the discussion featuring insights from Carpmaels & Ransford European patent practitioners Agathe Michel-de Cazotte, Cameron Marshall, Daniel Wise, Isobel Barry, Mark Chapman, and Susan Hancock. Please RSVP by Wednesday, November 23, 2022. We hope you can join us.
Please note that Morrison Foerster’s event policy requires all attendees to be up to date on vaccinations for COVID-19.
