The table book provides a clear overview of the patent-relevant procedures within the framework of the EPC, the UPC (Agreement on a Unified Patent Court), and the PCT. The tabular structure allows for easy access to legal norms, case law, guidelines, applicable deadlines, fees, and options for remedying deficiencies as legal chains. Independent chapters on all relevant procedures (grant, opposition, appeal procedures) and on the European patent with unitary effect enable the reader to quickly access the desired process and the resulting courses of action. Additionally, special chapters offer assistance on deadlines, priorities, amendment options, divisional applications, representation rules, oral proceedings, substantive law, the EQE, and US patent law.
