Join us for a digital event on Tuesday 30th March covering what you need to know about the new EPO Guidelines and current EPO practice.

This webinar hosted by Gareth Probert and Darren Smyth will give you a practical guide to the changes in how biotech and computer implemented inventions will be handled. The EPO’s stricter demands on amendments of the description of patent applications will also be explained, along with tips on how to avoid problems the new practice may cause in post-grant proceedings. We will also highlight some other topics, including the increased use of videoconferencing.

We will be running two sessions for this event. You can use the registration link below to select which session you would like to attend.

Trade Secrets: Navigating geopolitical risks and IP theft in the semiconductor industry

They have become the key building block in developing and existing markets, including quantum computing, edge computing, AI, IoT, automotive, cellular data technology, smartphones, robotics, and many more. The complex designs and innovations that power semiconductor manufacturing are invaluable both to the world’s economy and technological advancement. Consequently, the semiconductor industry has found itself at the centre of geopolitical tensions, especially between the United States and China. It has become a prime target for cyberattacks and intellectual-property (IP) theft. As such, companies operating in this area must be more vigilant in protecting their intellectual assets.
