Free Live webinar event – 12 November 2009
In the first of an ongoing programme of webinar events, Venner Shipley offers an insight into the upcoming law changes concerning the filing of divisional applications at the European Patent Office. With real, practical advice on preparing for the law changes in April 2010 and strategies for minimising the impact of those changes in the future, we have designed this event with a global audience in mind. In addition, thanks to our fully functional webinar broadcast software you will be able to actively take part in the seminar by asking questions and providing feedback.
In view of the global interest in this subject the seminar will be run twice on Thursday, 12 November 2009. The first will be delivered at a time accessible by our Asian subscribers and the second with consideration to our subscribers in the USA and Canada, but we will welcome subscribers to either event from any location worldwide.
