Post by EPO / Innovation Networks » Wed Jan 22, 2020 9:37 am

UPDATE
In view of the present situation with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) the European Patent Office (EPO) is postponing all EPO organised events that involve more than 50 participants in March and April. Organisers will contact participants on an individual basis and, where possible, inform them of the new dates. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding. :arrow: MORE

Dear users,

The EPO’s annual East meets West forum, which helps users to keep track of IP changes and to learn how to search efficiently in the growing amount of patent data in Asia and other jurisdictions, will take place again in Vienna, Austria on 23 and 24 April 2020.

This year, in the plenary sessions, experts from various patent offices will provide insight into the following topics:

• legal events categorisation in Asia
• recent and upcoming law amendments
• efficient exploitation of official search tools
• cross-lingual search possibilities in original texts
• jurisdictions in the focus: Japan, China, Korea, Myanmar, Brazil, Eurasia...

As in the previous years, participants will be able to choose from two streams. In Stream 1, which is titled “Asian file wrappers”, the offices will share the latest improvements of their tools for file wrapper access. Stream 2 on “Legal event codes categorisation” will focus on how the categorisation of legal event codes can help users to understand the meaning of legal events across different jurisdictions. In addition, two rounds of interactive workshops will be offered to participants free of charge. Furthermore, to provide first-time participants with a warm up, a short introductory session on Asian patent information will be offered prior to the event.

Participants and experts are invited to continue their discussions during a dinner cruise on the Danube River!

Further information can be found on the East meets West webpages https://www.epo.org/learning-events/eve ... ramme.html

Registration is now open and will close on Monday, 23 March 2020!
