Whether you are looking to get to grips with the latest processes and procedures, draft effective agreements or simply keep abreast of latest legislation and developments, Management Forum offers a wide range of IP training courses, presented both as public or in-house events to fulfil your patenting and intellectual property training needs.
Whilst the world’s national IP laws have become more consistent over recent years, the world of intellectual property is still a complex area. In order to legally and efficiently protect and exploit IP rights to the best advantage it is paramount that businesses stay abreast of latest developments and best practice.

Oral proceedings are organised to conclude the majority of appeal cases, and in many opposition and examination cases. Consequently, a European patent attorney will almost certainly at some point have to attend oral proceedings, either to defend a client's invention or to attack a patent held by a competitor. To defend your client's interests correctly and competently it is vital to know what to expect at those occasions and to be property prepared for it.
