Iain Russell gave a set of lectures to trainee patent attorneys this summer at the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys on how to pass the P3 examination.

Iain is the head of the EIP Designs practice groups, and as the author of How To Pass P3, the first-ever book on how to pass the patent drafting exam, regularly gives lectures to trainees.

P3 is one of the papers taken for qualification as a Chartered Patent Attorney and involves drafting a UK patent application based on an invention report from a fictional client. The first of the two lectures addressed how to spot an invention and how to prepare one or more independent claims for the invention, once spotted. The second lecture concerned preparing dependent claims and a suitable description.

How To Pass P3, by Iain Russell, is now in its second year of print.

Trade Secrets: Navigating geopolitical risks and IP theft in the semiconductor industry

Semiconductors have always been a critical technology but have grown significantly in strategic importance in recent years. They have become the key building block in developing and existing markets, including quantum computing, edge computing, AI, IoT, automotive, cellular data technology, smartphones, robotics, and many more. The complex designs and innovations that power semiconductor manufacturing are invaluable both to the world’s economy and technological advancement. Consequently, the semiconductor industry has found itself at the centre of geopolitical tensions, especially between the United States and China. It has become a prime target for cyberattacks and intellectual-property (IP) theft. As such, companies operating in this area must be more vigilant in protecting their intellectual assets.
