DESCRIPTION:Séminaire CIPP/Lallemand avec Cristina Lopes Margarido et Falk 
 Giemsa de l'Office européen des brevets. Gonzalo Lavin (Goudreau Gage Dubu
 c) agira comme répondant.\n\nDescription\n\n[en anglais seulement]\n\nThe 
 presentation concerns the examination practice of computer-implemented inv
 entions (CII) in the field of business methods\, gaming\, training and tea
 ching at the European Patent Office (EPO) which is essentially marked by t
 wo hurdles:\n\n\n	The exclusion from patentability\n	The requirement for an 
 inventive step\n\n\nWhen drafting patent applications in the field of busi
 ness methods\, gaming\, training and teaching it is quite easy to overcome
  the first hurdle\, while most patent applications in this area are refuse
 d for lack of inventive step.  Learn what can be done to overcome these hu
 rdles.\n\nCristina Lopes Margarido has a degree in electro-technical and c
 omputer engineering\, and a post-graduate degree in quantitative methods i
 n management\, both from the University of Porto. Since 2002 she has been 
 working as a patent examiner at the European Patent Office in Munich\, in 
 the areas of electronic commerce\, payment systems and educational applian
 ces. She has vast experience in Oral Proceedings in examination and has pa
 rticular expertise in the controversial area of non-patentable matter and 
 the technical/non-technical assessment of computer implemented inventions.
