28 Jul 2015

On 28 July 2015, Melbourne IP barrister Susan Gatford will present on expert evidence. Susan will make a 40 minute presentation discussing the rules and procedures that apply to expert evidence in Court proceedings and the underlying rationales for those rules and procedures. Susan’s presentation will provide patent and trade mark practitioners with advice as to how applying the principles underlying such rules can assist in preparing for and conducting patent, design and trade mark opposition hearings.

It will encompass issues such as:-

• points to consider when choosing an expert;
• what to tell your chosen expert;
• letters of instruction and the briefing process; and
• when (and whether) to give your expert the patent.
