Approaching the EQE . 1st Approach - Serving the Client

I am pleased to inform you of the publication on YouTube of a tutorial entitled “EQE 1^st Approach – Serving the Client”. You can access it by keying in “EQE Approach”.

In this tutorial, the job of a European Patent Attorney in serving a client’s interests is applied to the EQE candidate by considering that the Examination Organisation -  a 50-50 joint venture between the EPO and the epi – is a client of the would-be European Patent Attorney who must find out this client’s requirements and serve its interests.

This tutorial will be of interest to all candidates preparing for one or more papers of the EQE.

This is the first of a series of tutorials covering six complementary approaches to the EQE.  Keep on the lookout for the follow-up.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial and wish you well in your preparations for the EQE.
