Explore the technicalities of UK IPO hearings from the perspective of counsel, helping you to focus your efforts effectively.
Using a carefully selected set of recent cases for reference, your speaker will set out key points of practical guidance which you can take back to your current and future clients.
We will also explore the ways in which counsel initially approaches a case, identifying which areas are either particularly important, or of less consequence.
You will leave with an appreciation of what approaches and strategies will benefit your clients the most.
This lecture supports skill set 1.2 adversarial proceedings of the Advanced Competency Framework.
Networking opportunity
Following the lecture, join us to enjoy a drinks reception kindly hosted by Appleyard Lees.
This is your chance to reflect on what you have learned, and to solidify your local IP community.
