Our recent webinar comparing US and EP approaches to added subject matter was well attended and the number of questions we received in the Q&A clearly showed that added subject matter at the EPO remains a hot topic for attorneys around the world.
Our top tips for minimizing the likelihood of added matter problems at the EPO are:
1. Build-in basis for combinations at the drafting stage
2. Assume the Examples and Figures are merely illustrative
3. Take care with amendments during prosecution
A recording of the webinar and a copy of the slides can be found here. If you have any questions on specific added matter problems affecting your patent portfolio, please contact Sarah Rodriguez or Victoria Barker for tailored advice.
