At the HUB31 Technology and Start-up Centre Darmstadt, BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT patent attorneys Dr. Daniel Herrmann and Dr. Lennart-Knud Liefeith (both Frankfurt) will speak on the importance of intellectual property protection for start-ups on 26 April 2022 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm.

Using examples, the two attorneys will show how the process towards a patent works, which patent strategies are advisable and which aspects of software or computer-implemented inventions are patentable in Europe.

The lecture will be followed by a Q&A session, during which Dr. Herrmann and Dr. Liefeith will also be available for individual discussions.

The free event will be held in German and in accordance with the 2G-Plus hygiene concept. You can find all information on this and a link to register via e-mail here.

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”.
