Omschrijving

Essential legal knowledge for EPC concise, structured, up to date

For candidates preparing for the European Qualifying Examination (EQE) or the European Patent Administration Certification (EPAC), mastering the European Patent Convention is crucial. The EPC Handbook offers a clear, exam-focused presentation of the relevant legal framework ideal for targeted preparation and quick reference during the exam.
Based on the well-established D-I Guide Part 1 of 2: EPC (2024) by Ignacio Lobato, this book is now published as a standalone volume in the Heymanns IP series Heymanns Intellectual Property .

Key benefits:

Concise and exam-oriented: Bullet-point summaries instead of lengthy commentary directly applicable in exam scenarios.
Colour-coded structure: Legal bases, time limits, and cross-references are intuitively highlighted for faster navigation.
Up to date: Reflects all legal changes up to November 2025 and fully aligned with the EQE 2026 and EPAC. Aligns with the new eEQE and EPAC formats.
Practice-focused: Includes tables, examples, and overviews on fees, priority, national phase requirements, and more.

For EQE or EPAC candidates, mastering the EPC, the PCT and the UP system is essential to excel in the exams. The EPC Handbook, together with the PCT & UP Handbook, condenses legal texts, case law, and procedural frameworks into an exam-ready, quick reference that turns anxiety into certainty on every legal question.
