11 January 2010: Conference - On the Brink of European Patent Law

Leading patent judges, academics and practicing lawyers from Germany, England and
The Netherlands and members of the Boards of Appeal of the European Patent Office
will be discussing issues of European patent law. Topics as scope of protection, partial
revocation, inventive step, prosecution history and contributory infringement are to a large
extent harmonized and unified law. However, in the absence of a highest European court, it
is up to national courts to develop a uniform application and interpretation of
European patent law and to provide the legal certainty and predictability that litigants need.

This conference is in honour of Prof. Jan Brinkhof on the occasion of his retirement.
Prof. Brinkhof has dedicated his career as an academic, as a judge and as a practicing
attorney to the development of truly European patent law.
