J A Kemp will be offering a webinar entitled "Priority Entitlement in Europe -- Current Best Practice" on January 14, 2021 from 2:30 to 3:30 pm GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Marc Wilkinson and Chris Milton of J A Kemp will provide a concise review of European case law and practice with respect to a patentee's legal entitlement to a claim of priority, and briefly discuss what went wrong and why for the patentees in a recent high-profile case before the Board of Appeal of the European Patent Office (decision T844/18), where a high-value patent in the field of gene editing (CRISPR) was revoked for lack novelty over intervening prior art following a loss of priority. The webinar will also outline practical steps and measures that can be taken by applicants to help safeguard priority claims in Europe.
