It's time to relax and briefly recap last week's posts on IPKat!
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has found Denmark in breach of its obligations under Regulation (EU) No. 1151/2012 by failing to prohibit the use of the Greek PDO "Feta" on cheese produced in Denmark and intended for export outside the EU (Case C-159/20), and our GuestKat Anastasiia Kyrylenko has written a related post on the subject!
The EPO's announced workshop on patent description amendments took place in late June and was intended to provide "clarity" to users after recent conflicting decisions on the issue by the Boards of Appeal. The EPO has now indicated that the expert workshop "confirmed" the EPO's practice on description amendments. For analysis and more information, see GuestKat Rose Hughes' post!
GuestKat Rose Hughes reported on the EPO's consultations on the joint EPO/epi proposal for a new European Qualifying Examination (EQE) for trainee patent attorneys. Full details on the proposal and consultation, as well as the new examination format, can be found here!
Our TechieKat Verónica Rodríguez Arguijo reported on the outcome of WIPO General Assembly on the proposed Design Law Treaty (DLT) which took place on July 21 and approved the convening of diplomatic conferences on designs and genetic resources, no later than 2024. All details are available in the following post.
Never too Late: If you missed the IPKat last week!

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.
