Computer Implemented Inventions at the EPO
July 21, 2014
Software based patents can be obtained at the European Patent Office (EPO) if one understands the EPO’s approach and one prepares patent applications accordingly. We've prepared an ‘advanced level’ presentation that provides an in depth analysis of the current law and provides practical advice on how to prepare patent applications suitable for prosecution before the EPO. It also compares the EPO approach with other jurisdictions such as the UK and USA.
