J A Kemp Webinar: Strategies for Speeding up or Slowing Down Patent ProsecutionThere are a number of reasons why a patentee might want to speed up patent prosecution as part of their wider filing strategy. In this webinar we will look at the procedural options that the EPO offers to streamline prosecution as well as initiatives to increase speed of processing. However, there may also be motives for avoiding fast grant, especially in uncertain times. In many cases, delays can be cost effective for applicants. J A Kemp's experienced attorneys will explore practical tactics for achieving both outcomes.
Topics will include:

The EPO's acceleration procedure, PACE
The Patent Prosecution Highway
Early Certainty Programme
Waiver practice
Reasons for slowing...

We will also look at how this issue is dealt with in other jurisdictions.

The unstoppable rise of the internet giants to their current positions has been remarkable – and, at least before the turn of the last millennium, unpredictable. A common phenomenon in the technology community is that key innovations pre-empt their most profitable applications.

J A Kemp Webinar: Legal Entitlement To Priority – A European PerspectiveAttacking a patentee’s legal entitlement to priority is now a well-established tactic in European Patent Office opposition proceedings and in invalidity actions during national litigation.

Challenges to priority entitlement can also arise during examination proceedings via third party observations, and they are increasingly being raised by EPO examiners. EPO case law in this area is not settled and has been evolving in recent years. This webinar draws on the significant experience of J A Kemp’s attorneys in opposition and litigation matters.

J A Kemp Webinar: Infringement MattersThe “Doctrine of Equivalents” has long been used by the German courts to extend patent claims so that they cover products and processes not covered by the specific language used in the claims, but which differ from the language used only in one or more “inessential variants”.
In a landmark decision (Actavis v Eli Lilly) in 2017, the UK Supreme Court indicated that a Doctrine of Equivalents should also be applied by UK courts. There are, however, some differences in the way that the Doctrine is applied in the UK. In this webinar, we review the Actavis v Lilly decision and consider the similarities and...

J A Kemp Webinar: When Patents Go Wrong ... And What To Do About ItEveryone involved with IP knows by heart the patent timeline: first-filing before any disclosure, PCT and/or other filings at 12 months, national phase entry at 30, meet Patent Office deadlines and pay renewal fees thereafter. But sometimes it does not work out that way. Mistakes happen, fortunately not often but somehow always seemingly on a key case! This practical session will look at grace periods worldwide in relation to inventor disclosures, restoration of priority, late national phase entry and other “restoration” situations relating to missed renewal fee payments and other deadlines. It will also consider how to adapt your filing...
