Our latest webinar, EPO oppositions & appeals: Practical insights for strengthening your case, is taking place on Wednesday 25 February 2026 from 14:30 – 15:30 GMT.
In the webinar our expert team unpack two important elements of EPO oppositions and appeals:
- the use of post‑published data and;
- the protection of procedural rights under the RPBA.
Through examples and recent decisions, we’ll explore when post‑published evidence can strengthen your case and when it can backfire. Our experts will also cover the procedural landscape at first instance and on appeal, examining how parties can fall into the RPBA trap, what happens when the right to be heard is compromised, and when remittal is still a realistic option.
