{"product_id":"c-book","title":"C-Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is a practical guide for candidates on how to tackle the opposition paper C of the European Qualifying Examination (EQE), one of the more difficult papers judging by the overall results. It also provides qualified European patent attorneys with useful information on how to write, or defend against, an opposition, in particular the general practice at the EPO regarding the analysis of documents and possible approaches for drafting novelty and inventive step objections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book tackles the problems of time-management, claim and document analysis, choosing the correct attacks and the argumentation required in the notice of opposition in the context of two alternative methodologies for solving paper C. The first is the well-known table with claim features against the prior art documents, which over the years seems to work less and less satisfactorily. The second is the »CEIPI« method with a written analysis of each claim on sheets of paper, useful for the notice of opposition. This method is specially adapted to paper C as it has developed over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurther chapters describe the important topics of priority, interpretation, state of the art, inventive step, added subject-matter and ranges. For each topic, the authors first give references to relevant legal sources, then they explain the topic from the point of view of opposition\/paper C, and finally they give examples from past papers, as exercise material. Throughout the book, the authors point out the interconnections between these topics, the methodologies and the argumentation required in the notice of opposition, especially for inventive step attacks. The book also includes a collection of the legal points that have come up in past papers, sorted by theme. The appendices contain a worked example of paper C 2010 as well as useful templates for candidates, including a notice of opposition in English, French and German.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevised and updated:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully revised chapter on the methods to tackle Paper C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully revised chapters in the light of more recent examination papers, the latest guidelines for examination and the revised implementing provisions for the EQE as of 2013.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated exam paper (C 2010)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains standard phrases for the Notice of Opposition in all three official languages (EN, FR, DE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains the model solution for C 2010 and its supporting documents in all three official languages (English, French and German)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore information on examination strategy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdate for all the Guidelines changes since 2016 (kept up to date every year with corrigenda-sheets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdate for all the C papers since 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdate for latest G decisions important for paper C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShortcuts in the Ceipi method, if time is running short\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard phrases have been reviewed and updated in all three languages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to mark up the documents of the C paper to more easily find back te required information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplanation of hidden independent claims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdate on interpretation of claims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial topics of interest in real life opposition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew material on prior use and oral disclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIssues with the validity of priority of a document cited against the patent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdate for inventive step attacks according to the most recent C papers:\u003cbr\u003e- What to do with more than one possible closest prior art\u003cbr\u003e- Mix of technical and non-technical features and inventive step\u003cbr\u003e- Change necessary in closest prior art because the purpose of the invention changes from one claim to the next\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eContains the model solution for C 2010 and its supporting documents in all three official languages (English, French and German)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdited by:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWilliam E.
