Since the publication of the seminar brochure, we are pleased to announce that the speaker, Dr Christoph Körber, has been appointed Member of Technical Board of Appeal at the European Patent Office, Munich.

The patenting of medical technology is a complex and sometimes controversial topic, as it usually involves multi-claim categories covering diagnostic, surgical and therapeutic methods.

This seminar will examine in detail how aspects of patent law relating to this significant branch of technology are covered by the existing provisions of the EPC and, through the examination of existing case law and other examples, how these provisions are interpreted and implemented in practice by the EPO.
