2 Introduction 1. EPC London Agreement 3. Searches for Italian Patent Applications

3 Entry into force in 1977 European Patent Convention Main objectives: 1) European co-operation in patent protection single procedure for grant of patents 2) European Patent Convention A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000

4 REASONS FOR EPC 2000 A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 Since EPO grown considerably, now 34+4 member states This requires organisational adjustment in terms of: - changes to the organisational structure - substantive patent law changes

5 European Patent Organisation - Member States

7 EPC Reasons for change A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 A) To take into account developments in international patent law (TRIPS, PLT, PCT) B) To respond to users' needs/expectations C) To bring text in line with case law of the Enlarged Board of Appeal D) To transfer details from Articles to Implementing Regulations to ensure greater flexibility

8 A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 EPC 2000 entered into force on December 13th, 2007

10 A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 New Article 105a NEW Article 105a - Request for limitation or revocation (1) At the request of the proprietor, the European patent may be revoked or be limited by an amendment of the claims. The request shall be filed with the European Patent Office in accordance with the Implementing Regulations. It shall not be deemed to have been filed until the limitation or revocation fee has been paid. (2) The request may not be filed while opposition proceedings in respect of the European patent are pending

11 A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 New Article 105a Request for limitation or revocation - European Patent Office shall decide to limit or revoke the European patent in accordance with the Implementing Regulations. Otherwise, it shall reject the request. -The decision to limit or revoke the European patent shall apply to the European patent in all the Contracting States in respect of which it has been granted. - Limitation fee: 1000 Euros - Revocation fee: 450 Euros

12 A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 New Article 105a Request for limitation or revocation - Limitation request can not be filed pending an opposition; - Limitation request can be filed several times; - Examination of request will consider Art. 84 and Art. 123 (2)(3).

13 A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 Article 87 Article 87 - Priority right (1) Any person who has duly filed, in or for (a) any State party to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property or (b) any Member of the World Trade Organization, an application for a patent, a utility model or a utility certificate, or his successor in title, shall enjoy, for the purpose of filing a European patent application in respect of the same invention, a right of priority during a period of twelve months from the date of filing of the first application

14 Priority right may be re-established, but the request must be filed within 2 months from deadline of Art. 87(1) EPC if all due care required by the circumstances has been taken A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 Article 87

15 Date of filing A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 Date of filing (1) The date of filing of a European patent application shall be the date on which the documents filed by the applicant contain: (a) an indication that a European patent is sought; (b) information identifying the applicant or allowing the applicant to be contacted; and (c) a description or reference to a previously filed application.

16 A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 Date of filing [Continued] (2) A reference to a previously filed application under paragraph 1(c) shall state the filing date and number of that application and the Office with which it was filed.

19 A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 Conflicting Prior Art Conflicting prior art Validly published earlier application belongs to state of the art under Art. 54(3) for later application: EPC 1973 only for validly designated states in common if designation fees for common states for earlier application have been paid EPC 2000 for all EPC member states regardless of designation

20 A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 Protocol on interpretation of Art. 69 Protocol on the Interpretation of Art. 69 New Art. 2 of Protocol: "For the purpose of determining the extent of protection conferred by a European patent, due account shall be taken of any element which is equivalent to an element specified in the claims."

25 Petition for review - new Art. 112a A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 New Article 112a If petition is allowed: EBOA shall set aside Board of Appeal's decision, and Re-open proceedings before the Boards of Appeal

26 A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 Article 121 Article Further processing of the European patent application (1) If an applicant fails to observe a time limit vis-à-vis the European Patent Office, he may request further processing of the European patent application. (4) Further processing shall be ruled out in respect of the time limits in Article 87, paragraph 1, Article 108 and Article 112a, paragraph 4, as well as the time limits for requesting further processing or re-establishment of rights.

27 A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 Article 121 Further processing of the European patent application Ruled out for (not exaustive): - Further processing - Re-establishment of rights - Maintenance fees - Priority deadline - Appeal filing - Petition for review - Filing biological material number - Filing of priority document - Opposition procedure - Translation of application in EPO language not filed in time

28 Re-establishment of rights (Art. 122) A VIEW OF THE EPC 2000 Article 122 Not available for: - deadline for re-establishment of rights; - if further processing available.
