Our Computer Technology patent attorney team have produced a 2018 UK hearings digest that provides analysis of the decisions issued by the UK IPO relating to computer implemented inventions (CII).
The digest provides practice points and points of difference between UK IPO practice and that of other offices around the world, with a particular focus on the EPO. Whether you work as in-house counsel or in overseas private practice, we hope you will find the hints and tips for prosecuting CII applications useful, regardless of your jurisdiction or field.
