Patent Opposition Considerations for the Technology Transfer Professional

Wilson, Mark B.; Alge, Daniel

Industry and Higher Education, v21 n2 p169-174 Apr 2007

Many jurisdictions, including the European Patent Office (EPO), have opposition proceedings in which an interested third party can challenge the validity of the claims of an issued patent. The United States Congress is considering legislation that would introduce opposition proceedings in the USA. This paper reviews the existing EPO and proposed US opposition procedures and provides practical suggestions for dealing with oppositions. (Contains 16 notes.)
