This session aims to equip viewers with a suite of strategies (“tips and tricks”) tailored to the sector. #patents #sport #cpd #intellectualproperty

Inventive step at the EPO – Part 2 of 2   The EPO has, over time, developed a framework known as the “problem-solution approach” to provide an objective way to assess whether a claimed invention is obvious. This is done by evaluating whether the prior art points to the claimed features as solving an “objective technical problem”.   This is the second in a series of two articles. The first article reviewed each stage of the roadmap in turn and provided practical advice for applicants seeking patent protection in Europe. This second article goes through the approach using a worked example from the field of textiles and provides a “watch this space” comment on the somewhat different legal framework recently adopted in post-grant proceedings in Europe, at the new Unified Patent Court, for the inventive step assessment.
