Can patents be understood? How do you read patents correctly?
Full-day seminar
Patent protection from the perspective of engineers, developers and patent managers. Within the scope of a seminar, patent attorney Christoph K. Engel will inform about the most important aspects of the patent for the users.
- How can information be determined quickly from patents?
- What has to be considered as prior art?
- What do novelty and inventive step mean?
- What is the scope of protection of patents?
- How can patents be enforced against infringers?
Due to the great interest in this topic, this lecture has been held once a semester for quite some time.
The seminar is held at PATON (State Patent Centre Thuringia at the Technical University Ilmenau), where you can also register for the seminar.
Patent protection for software and business methods
Online half-day seminar
In a special seminar we will inform you about the possibilities of patent protection for software. Typical criteria are presented to distinguish patentable from non-patentable software. Furthermore, business methods are classified into this system. The differences in patentability requirements between European and US patents will be clarified.
The seminar will be held at the PATON (State-Patent Center Thuringia at the Technical University of Ilmenau), where you can also apply for a patent.
