Oppositions & Challenges Experience

The Unified Patent Court (UPC) is also now gaining traction in Europe and increasingly interacting with EPO opposition practice. Whether defending a granted patent or challenging one, success depends on experience, precision and a deep understanding of the process.

EIP's mixed practice and depths of experience in EPO oppositions, as well as UPC and national litigation make us the firm of choice for clients seeking representation in these proceedings across all technical areas.

我们在异议和拨款后程序的每个阶段为客户提供支持,提供战略性、以商业为重点的建议和代理。

我们与客户密切合作,以:

  • 在欧洲专利局和美国专利商标局的诉讼中代表专利权人和反对者
  • 在UPC或国家法院协调多方异议和平行诉讼
  • 就欧洲专利局和WIPO的第三方观察提供建议,对批准前的申请提出质疑
  • 通过我们的专利律师、诉讼律师和律师助理组成的综合团队,在各个司法管辖区提供无缝支持

我们的团队定期亲自出席 EPO 听证会,并利用我们先进的内部技术来确保虚拟听证会取得最佳结果。
我们还协助申请人和专利所有者在美国专利商标局的单方面复审以及与复审相关的战略决策中发起和捍卫专利。
