Navigating Your Life Sciences Opposition: Tips for Best Practice When You Are Opposing or Opposed

Each year more than 3,000 European patents are opposed within the nine-month post-grant opposition window. Opposition is an effective weapon for the central challenge of European patents, leading to complete revocation of the patent in around one-third of cases. In this webinar, we will explore best practices for when you are opposing or opposed, focusing on the challenges encountered in life sciences cases.

Practical discussion will include:

• What to include (and what not to include) in your opposition statement or response to an opposition
• The convergent approach—how to navigate your opposition and appeal proceedings
• Strategic considerations for oppositions in the context of global litigation strategy
