EPO publishes European Patent Academy 2022 training catalogue

Today the EPO publishes the European Patent Academy’s 2022
training catalogue, which covers a varied and comprehensive
portfolio of training activities, educational products and learning projects in
the areas of patent granting, technology transfer and dissemination, and
litigation.

The portfolio reflects the diversity of the technical and
legal knowledge underpinning the EPO’s work, with a view to serving a wide
range of stakeholders, partners and society at large. It covers topics ranging
from the fundamentals of patents to cutting-edge science as well as
institutional developments – notably the Unitary Patent and Unified Patent
Court.

The catalogue also introduces a structured framework for
Academy training, with seven standardised activity types and three formats for
online and hybrid education.

Overall, the 2022 training offering builds on the pillars of
digitalisation, co-operation, certification and modularity. Enhancing skills
and embracing technological developments in education, it aims to disseminate
knowledge while creating spaces for professional encounters and discussion.
