Iain Russell lectures to trainee attorneys

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.
