10th Anniversary

Key points

  • In April 2015, I started with this weblog - fresh out of the EQE and inspired by the inimitable K's Law blog (which stopped in 2014).
  • If you are a regular reader, you are part of quite a small group of case law aficionados. Only a few percent of the total number of European patent attorneys reads this blog regularly, is my estimate. I like to think of them as the (upcoming) thought leaders in the field.
  • Of course, this blog couldn't exist without a regular supply of interesting decisions from the boards. So I would like to use the opportunity to thank the board members who add a sprinkle of 'bloggable' decisions to the continuous stream of run-of-the-mill decisions (without wishing to diminish in any way the importance of appeal decisions in run-of-the-mill cases for the parties concerned and to keep the EPO and our practices going).
