“Leading patent judges, academics and practicing lawyers from Germany, England and The Netherlands and members of the Boards of Appeal of the European Patent Office will be discussing issues of European patent law. Topics as scope of protection, partial revocation, inventive step, prosecution history and contributory infringement are to a large extent harmonized and unified law. However, in the absence of a highest European court, it is up to national courts to develop a uniform application and interpretation of European patent law and to provide the legal certainty and predictability that litigants need.” (5 PO-punten).
