Litigation is so me think that requires specific training I think the public is entitled to choose from those who have undertaken it. However, it is good to see that the European patent attorneys granted some status within the system. I suspect some UK role in this compromise as what it looks like is the British model and the EPA is required to have a 'leader'.<BR/>I wish the working party every success in their endeavoursFilemothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15735898485265104580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058786915356669476.post-75071193491738179062008-06-02T06:54:00.000+01:002008-06-02T06:54:00.000+01:00"European Patent Attorney who is a national of a C..."European Patent Attorney who is a national of a Contracting Party", its a bit stricter than article 134, as long time residents are allowed onto the EP register even if they are foreign nationals. I wonder if the same restriction applies to lawyers.<BR/><BR/>Is there a chance that the legislation will put a stop to Oppositions at the EPO, i.e. only making it possible to challenge validity at the European Patent Court?
