| Soaking up the last bit of the weekend. |
Although the weekend may be fast fading (but what's the difference anymore?) the IPKat brings some other news to distract you, including some, perhaps, unbelievable news...
Conferences
INTA is
back! INTA is scheduled to be held in Houston from 16 to 20 November 2020. Watch
the announcement from INTA CEO, Etienne Sanz de Acedo.
Courses
If you
haven’t yet registered for one of WIPO’s IP related short courses, then I have
great news for you! WIPO extended the registration deadline to 19 April 2020. Choose
a course in WIPO’s Distance Learning programme you would like to register for.
The EPO has postponed the 2020 EQE and pre-EQE until further notice. This week, EPI
announced that it wrote to the President of the EPO "requesting his
support to make every possible resource at the EPO available for enabling the
organisation of a postponed EQE 2020.” Ideally the results of the postponed EQE
2020 should be available by the end of October 2020.
Commercialisation
of IP plays a crucial part in IP. Mark Anderson is bringing you all the information
on “IP Transactions: Law and Practice” from 9 – 13 November. Book your seat here.
Events
Interested
in whether EU law imposes an obligation on holders of standard essential patents
to license at all levels of the value chain, including at component level? 4IP
News is hosting a new webinar entitled “FRAND licensing levels under EU Law:
components or end-device” on 28 May from 16.00-17.30 CET. Find more information here.
Like most
of us, you are also probably stuck at home every Thursday evening for the rest
of April. We have interesting company for you! Join Simmons + Simmons for half an hour of
unrehearsed and largely unplanned IP chat, probably over a glass of wine.
Register here.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
