It looks like, after quite some time, the Unified Patent Court is soon to become a reality.
The always-busy Katfriends at the Academy of European Law (ERA) in Trier have thus informed The IPKat that they are launching – in collaboration with Maastricht University – a new European Patent Litigation Certificate (EPLC), which will run in person (in Trier) and online between September 2022 and July 2023.
The main goal of the EPLC is to provide European patent attorneys who are entitled to act as professional representatives before the EPO in accordance with Article 134 EPC to acquire the appropriate qualification to represent parties before the Unified Patent Court in accordance with Article 48 AUPC.
The IPKat has requested ERA to offer something special to interested Katreaders and managed to secure a 25% discount in the participation fee of one of the following conferences organized by ERA during Autumn 2022:
- Annual Conference on Trade Mark and Design Law 2022 (online, 26-28 October 2022)
- Annual Conference on European Copyright Law 2022 (Trier/online, 24-25 November 2022)
- The European Approach Towards Artificial Intelligence (online, 7-9 December 2022)
To enjoy the special Kat-discount, readers should use the code 2022patentlitigation, which can be combined with ERA’s standard early booking discount for one of the conferences above.
