For understanding the background of the law, the 2009 edition of Singer+Staude proved excellent. The book by Roberts+Rudge is better for reviewing and practicing old papers, even though the T and G case law summary proved useful during the exams (I knew what I was looking for). The labeling of the sections (A, B, C, etc.) caused some confusion. <br /><br><br />I am not aware of any recent (or even ancient) material in French specifically related to the EQE. I surmise that there might exist some course handouts edited by CEIPI.<br /><br><br />Even though this observation is hardly original, I would add that the key to success lies in knowing where to locate required information quickly, so one needs to know whichever references was selected inside out. My copy of the EPC ended up covered with markers and cross-references and hand-annotations, dito for EPO ancillary documents. The other thing is that you must always keep moving on, I nearly ran out of time in D because I got stumped in one of the earlier questions. Sitting down and completely answering old (D) papers in a quiet study and with the watch ticking is essential, een though many topics wouldn't be relevant anymore because of changes in the law. At least I wasn't frightened when I entered the exam room, even though I was rather tense. I felt a bit overwhelmed about all the PCT procedural stuff and specifics of foreign patent law, which in the end did not represent a major part of the papers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-46092901873931069972010-06-18T02:42:58.717+01:002010-06-18T02:42:58.717+01:00when I read a book and I go on reading, could some...when I read a book and I go on reading, could someone please enlighten as to how to use a book for preparing practice-intensive exams like EQE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-82528774549632394572010-06-17T11:01:53.553+01:002010-06-17T11:01:53.553+01:00Surely "Procedural Law under EPC 2000", ...Surely "Procedural Law under EPC 2000", which can be found through the same link as the mentioned "PCT Procedures and Passage..." book (as it is by the same authors) should be another recommendation.<br />It combines references to the EPC, guidelines and Case Law in a one-stop location.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-83789878450441335242010-06-17T10:34:46.848+01:002010-06-17T10:34:46.848+01:00There are a number of other books that are relevan...There are a number of other books that are relevant for the preparation for the EQE - like <br> Derk Visser: <b> The Annotated EPC </b> - www.htelpublisher.com, <br> Jelle Hoekstra: <b> References to the EPC </b> - www.deltapatents.com, and <br> Cees Mulder: <b> The Cross-Referenced PCT </b> - www.helze.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999700636960425123noreply@blogger.com
