The seminars will provide knowledge of unitary patent protection and the Unified Patent Court (UPC) to allow epi members to work with the new system and to advise clients on strategic choices, for example on whether to request unitary effect for their European patents, or when and whether to opt their non-unitary European patents out of the UPC.

The AIPPI 2017 World Congress in Sydney will develop and adapt research on the following hot IP topics:

IP protection of media and IT: Protection of graphical user interfaces
General: Quantification of monetary relief
IP Lunch 1: Briefing: Development of the IP system in China
Since joining the World Trade Organization in 2001, China has continued to strengthen its legal framework and amend its IP laws and regulations to comply with TRIPS. Today, China has the second largest economy in the world, one of the top five patent offices in the world and hosts the world’s largest trademark office. It is therefore not surprising that the 2016 Global Patent & IP Trends indicator cited the continued increase in the importance of IP in China as a key trend.
While China has embraced IP to drive an innovation-based economy, the development of its IP system has drawn increasing attention from the world. In December 2016, China released the 13th Five-year Plan on National IP Protection and Utilization. Amongst other things, the plan calls for an improved IP legal system, enhanced IP protection, better IP quality, comprehensive IP utilisation and strengthened international cooperation.
This Lunch Session will provide a briefing on recent Chinese IP system developments, and a practical guide to navigating the systems of IP protection in China including via criminal, civil and administrative measures.
IP Lunch 2: Briefing: Recent developments at the EPO
AIPPI is very pleased to once again welcome EPO President Benoît Battistelli at its Congress to provide lunch session attendees with the latest updates on the EPO.
The EPO, with 38 member states and reaching a population of 650 million, is certainly a highly influential actor on the global patent stage. Recognized for its high-quality and business-friendly services, the EPO continues to achieve increased productivity. In 2017, the reform of the Boards of appeal is being implemented and the EPO is preparing for the possible arrival of the unitary patent.
IP Lunch 3: Briefing: Update on Brexit / the UPC
It is anticipated that Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty will be triggered some months before this Congress, giving the UK two years to negotiate its withdrawal from the EU. Given the extent of harmonization of IP law across Europe, the consequences of a UK departure are complex.
This session will provide a briefing on the likely implications for the protection and enforcement of IP in the UK generally, including the issues of free movement/exhaustion and the jurisdictional arrangements if the Brussels Regulation no longer applies to the UK.
The implementation of the Unified Patent Court was at an advanced stage when the Brexit referendum took place. While the UK’s announced intention to ratify the UPC agreement means the UPC system will go ahead, it is unclear if and how the UK can participate in the context of the current UPC framework: part international treaty, part EU Regulation, and subject to the oversight of the Court of Justice of the EU.
It is expected that the UPC will be operational in December 2017. This session will also provide a timely briefing on progress and the possibilities for the UK’s ongoing role in the UPC, in light of the structural uncertainties due to Brexit.

FICPI’s Open Forum is renowned for the quality of its working sessions and speakers. The 17th Open Forum will follow the usual three-stream format, with specialised sessions on patents, trade marks and IP practice management for the independent professional and private firm.
After a welcome reception on 25 October 2017 at the 5***** Molino Stucky Hotel on the Giudecca, offering attendees the chance to mingle with old and new friends from around the world, with views across the Canal of the same name, the Forum will begin on the 26th with a plenary session that will examine the benefits of using Mediation to settle IP disputes, including a mock mediation. Following break-out sessions will cover a huge array of practical topics relevant to the busy IP professional from avoiding self-collision in patents, border controls to prevent piracy and counterfeiting and everything you need to know about priority rights to time management in the face of the email deluge, finding (and keeping!) the right people for your firm and how to make decisions within a partnership. Special topics to be covered will include online platforms and why clients still need their IP attorney and how to deal with the manufacture of infringing products by modern 3D printing techniques.
The Working Programme for the 17th FICPI Open Forum promises something for every practitioner, while allowing ample opportunity to network with leading IP professionals and offering social events in spectacular venues across La Serenissima, the City of Masks, Bridges and Water.
: Guidelines2day - EPO, Swedish Patent and Registration Office - Stockholm, Sweden
25 October 2017
Organised by the EPO with the support of the epi, this training event has been designed for patent attorneys and IP professionals with experience in filing and prosecuting European patent applications. Featuring EPO lawyers and examiners along with senior European patent attorneys, the programme includes:
the impact of the amendments in the new Guidelines for Examination, with the focus on how to optimise patent prosecution both before grant (e.g. filing amendments and auxiliary requests) and after grant (e.g. Early Certainty and oral proceedings)
procedural changes which are not covered by the Guidelines but which are nevertheless relevant to professional representatives
