FICCI to organize One Day Training Programme on Patent Litigation

FICCI-IPR division in association with Indian Patent Office (IPO) and European Patent Office (EPO) with a leading European Law firm Kilburn and Strode is organizing a one-day industry specific training program on “Prosecuting and Litigating Patents in Europe and India” at FICCI, New Delhi on 24th October 2008 with an aim to share with each other the best practices.

The focus of the workshop is to make Indian Industry aware about prosecuting/litigating patent applications in India/Europe and to learn about the best practices being adopted by each patent office. The programme will also help in understanding the legal landscape so as to learn the ways of enforcing one’s Intellectual Property against the infringer.

Patent Circle personally views that this programme would be of tremendous help to not only those who are IP professionals but also for those who intend to build their career in the IPR field. This is the right platform to get in touch with not only senior officials from Industry and Indian Patent Office but also with the officials from European Patent Office. We are particularly grateful to FICCI and Sheetal Chopra (Senior Assistant Director, FICCI) who has agreed to give 30% discount in fee for the readers of Patent Circle who would like to participate in this one day training programme. We request our readers interested for participation to mention “Patent Circle” as a source of programme information.

The invited speakers for the program are expert Patent Examiners, Controllers from Indian and European patent office; Patent Attorneys and Litigators from the leading Law Firms, who have extensive years of experience in their professional fields. This program will be attended by Legal practitioners, Industry professionals, academicians and IP outsourcing organizations.
