In our first video update, Joseph Lenthall and Joanna Deas, Partners in our Chemistry & Life Sciences team discuss oral proceedings before the EPO, focusing on the development of videoconferencing and whether this will be a long term measure.
We have also provided links to other useful articles and decisions:
