This practical guide assists candidates in tackling the challenging opposition paper C of the European Qualifying Examination (EQE). It offers valuable insights for qualified European patent attorneys on drafting and defending against opposition, focusing on EPO document analysis and strategies for formulating novelty and inventive step objections. The book addresses time management, claim and document analysis, and selecting appropriate arguments for the notice of opposition, presenting two methodologies: a traditional table with claim features and prior art, and a new method involving detailed written analyses of claims. Key topics covered include priority, interpretation, state of the art, inventive step, added subject-matter, and ranges. Each topic includes references to legal sources, explanations from the perspective of opposition/paper C, and examples from past papers. The authors highlight the interconnections between these topics and the necessary argumentation for inventive step attacks. Additionally, the book compiles legal points from previous papers by theme and includes appendices with a worked example from paper C 1999, templates for candidates, and standard phrases for the Notice of Opposition in English, French, and German. It has been fully revised to reflect recent examination papers and updated guidelines for the EQE as of 2013.
