Wednesday 1 April 2009
Venue: Moot Court Room, Old College
This event is the idea of Professor Philip Leith, Queen’s University Belfast, and it is organised as part of SCRIPT’s Information Technology Law Foresight Fora. The objective of the event is to bring together a small number of practitioners and policymakers from Europe to discuss the current state of case law and practice with regards to computer implemented inventions (CII). There has been a split between UK and EPO case law, and it is hoped that this workshop will explore some of the issues that led to such state of affairs.
There are very few spaces available, if you would like to attend email Andrés Guadamuz at a.guadamuz@ed.ac.uk
