REPRESENTATION
CEIPI
Introductory ("Pre-prep") courses in autumn 2006 for the CEIPI preparatory seminars in 2007 on Papers AB (Claim drafting and responding to the Office communication), C (Opposition) and D (Legal questions)
These introductory (pre-preparatory) courses are intended principally – but not exclusively – for candidates who have taken CEIPI's basic European patent law training course.
They aim to set the candidates for the European qualifying examination (EQE) as early as possible "on the rails" for preparing themselves for the EQE 2007 as well as for reaching the required level for the CEIPI preparatory seminars in January-February 2007 (see above).
In these courses an introduction is given into the methodologies one can apply to the papers A, B, C and D respectively, the examination requirements as well as a review of important topics the candidates can expect for each paper. The courses offer candidates suggestions to help them prepare for the exams as well as for the CEIPI preparatory seminars in 2007.
To take full advantage of the preparatory seminars in January/February 2007, candidates are advised to enrol for these introductory ("Pre-prep") courses in the autumn of 2006 as well; it helps them to acquaint themselves at an earlier stage with the methodologies taught, which gives them more time to practise them and to prepare themselves for the preparatory seminars in 2007.
Depending on the available capacity the participants will be chosen on a first come, first served basis.
The courses will be held as a one-day course (AB and C) or one-and-a-half day course (D) in Strasbourg (for English- and German-speaking candidates) and Paris (for the French-speaking candidates).
The regional one-and-a-half day courses (AB, C and D) in Milan (IT), Barcelona (ES) and Stockholm (SE) will be held only in English language, and start on Friday afternoon and continue for the entire following Saturday.
The dates are:
