In this seminar you could learn and discuss on agreements and disputes; the classic delimitation in Design Law between appearance and technical functionality; international registration of industrial designs, and design protection from a Swedish perspective.

In this seminar you could learn how to better understand the grant and opposition procedures in the EPO, and how to handle them to your advantage in a real situation. The seminar was arranged by IP Akademin (the Swedish IP Academy).

Informationsmöte 19 april 2010

Almost everything has changed in 2016!

Now, at this event, we will deal with all he news related to EU Trade Marks and Community Designs, and what it means for IP protection from a Scandinavian point of view. The Regulation (EU) No 2015/2424 of the European Parliament and the Council amending the Community trade mark regulation entered into force on 23 March 2016. From that day, the Office is called the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the Community trade mark is called the European Union trade mark. But, that is not the only news…

Please note that the registration for the annual meeting is only open to members of FICPI Sweden

At this seminar, we will report on issues dealt with at the FICPI Executive Committee meeting in the first week of November, in Barcelona, Spain

On this occasion, we will deal with the possibilities of making claim amendments during prosecution of a patent application, before grant, or once a patent has already been granted. When drafting a patent application, a diligent patent attorney analyzes the prior art, but it is still a frequent situation that additional prior art is found after filing the application, often after a relatively long period of time.

Then, we face the challenge of limiting the scope of the claims whilst protecting the foreseeable embodiments of the invention. In virtually all jurisdictions, such amendments require support in application as filed. However, the law and practice varies across the jurisdictions.

At the seminar, we will try to find out whether there are any significant differences.
