C 2016: First impressions?
To all who sat the C-paper today:
What are your first impressions to this year's C-paper?
Any
general or specific comments?
Was the number of claims as expected, or more, or less? And the number of prior art documents?
Were the various attack types well balanced - novelty, inventive step, added subject-matter, ...?
Was the described technology well understandable? For electronics/electricity attorneys, mechanics attorneys, chemists, biotech attorneys, ...?
How many marks do you expect to have scored?
What
is your expectation of the pass rate and the average score?
How
did this year's paper compare to the 2013, 2014 and 2015 papers (assuming your
practiced those)
The paper and our answers
Copies of the paper will be provided on this blog as
soon as we have received copies of the papers, in all three languages here (English, French and German).
The core of our answers will be given as soon as possible in a separate
blog post.
We look forward to your comments!
Comments are welcome in any official EPO
language, not just English. So, comments in German and French
are also very welcome!
Please do not post your comments anonymously - it is allowed, but it
makes responding more difficult and rather clumsy ("Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms
Anonymous of 03-03-2015 03:03"), whereas using your real name or a
pseudonym is more personal, more interesting and makes a more attractive
conversation. You do not need to
log in or make an account - it is OK to just put your (nick) name at the end of
your post.
Please post your comments as to first impressions and general remarks to
this blog.
Please post responses
to our answer (as soon as available) to the
separate blog post with our answer.
Thanks!
Jelle, Sander, Nico, Joeri, Gregory
