Episode overview

In our latest episode, Partner and host Daniel Wise and Technical Assistant Sam Parry discuss some of the recent changes to the EPO’s Guidelines for Examination which entered into force in March 2023. The main changes are as a result of the introduction of the new Rule 56a, which allows for the correction of erroneously filed application documents, the new WIPO ST 26 for Sequence Listings, and the push towards “Digitisation” of the patent grant procedure, including the demise of the EPO’s ten-day rule.
