Also this year Christian W. Appelt will speak at the 20th Düsseldorfer Patentrechtstage 2022 and will present the “Current Decision Practice of the Boards of Appeal of the EPO”

The event will be held as an online event in the form of a Zoom video conference from 24 – 25 March 2022. In addition to the traditional overview of the current decision practice of the boards of appeal and the courts, this year’s ”Patentrechtstage” will focus on the approaching start of the Unitary European Patent System and the challenges associated with it. A second focus of the conference is the controversially discussed question of patent protection for “vaccines”.
