- If you are a (qualified) European patent attorney regularly reading this blog, you are likely the primary target audience of the EPO course on evidence. The two online lectures (including a mock witness hearing) will take place on 23 and 30 September in the morning.
- Registration is possible until Monday 15 September. Costs are EUR 320. Maximum of 35 participants.

- I participated in the course a couple of years ago and found it very useful and informative, well above the level of the EQE. Especially because Article 117 EPC is not usually discussed in great detail in EQE preparation courses. After following the course, you will be better prepared if and when an alleged public prior use shows up in one of your cases.
- Evidently, the course focuses on the practice before the OD (and the Guidelines). However, since T1138/20 (cited 57 times in the new edition of the Case Law book), we know that, as a rule, you have to get your witness hearing right before the OD.
