A bit of a quicky this one.
As the IPKat mentioned in an earlier post, Benoît Battistelli (right), the new President of the European Patent Office, will be giving a public lecture at UCL on the 8th of November - his first in the UK since stepping into his new role. Full details, including a link to the tickets (which are disappearing fast) are below.
The title of his talk will be: How can Europe be a key player at a global level in the patent field? What is the role of the EPO?
The event includes a panel discussion with the speaker and:
- John Alty, Chief Executive, IPO
- Alasdair Poore, President, CIPA (tbc)
The chair will be taken by The Rt Hon Lord Justice Jacob
As for timing: it's 17:30 registration for an 18:00 start, with a drinks reception to follow the event.
The remaining few tickets can be snapped up here:

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.
