Patent drafting and internal requirements: where are we post-Raising the Bar?
Webinar – Tuesday 15th December 2020
Synopsis:
This is the first of a two-part series (part 2 will be on 2 February 2021) focusing on the internal requirements of sufficiency, support and best method as introduced by the Raising the Bar amendments to the Patents Act.
