Coffee-break questions
Summary
Coffee-break questions are a series of e-mail questions and answers on aspects of European (EPC and PCT) patent law and practice. The questions are short and should only take between 5 and 15 minutes to answer.
The first e-mail contains a question. The following e-mail will give you the answer to the first question, including the legal basis, and set the next question. The questions are sent Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. There are 50 questions altogether.
