Compendium of the papers of the European qualifying examination
The European Patent Office is to publish the 1998 edition of the annual Compendium. It will be published with the aim of providing candidates for the European qualifying examination and their tutors with a good basis for training. It will be available from December 1998. The 1998 Compendium, like the previous editions, will consist of four booklets which may be ordered together or separately:
- Papers A & B Chemistry
- Papers A & B Electricity/Mechanics
- Paper C
- Paper D
Each booklet contains the paper(s) from the 1998 European qualifying examination in the three official languages, the examiners' reports in the original language and examples of answers written by candidates, again in the three official languages.
The booklets cost DEM 40 each, excluding postage and packing. The previous editions mentioned in OJ EPO 1997, 577, are still available.
The Compendium can be ordered from the European Patent Office's sub-office in Vienna using the attached order form which will also be available on the EPO's Internet home page
