The workshop is divided into three (3) time slots, starting from 10:00 AM Austrian Time.

The patent world falls into two major sections, with a Great Chasm fixed between them: US-style patents and non-US-style patents. We will discuss in detail what that means for drafting patent applications.

As a consequence of that, the below-mentioned time slots are governed by US-style patent drafting and non-US-style patent drafting.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the schedule (Austrian Time):

10:00AM – 11:30AM: Slot 1 –  Training Session 1: EP/Non-US-style Patent Drafting
11:30AM – 1:30PM: Lunch Break
01:30PM – 03:00PM: Slot 2 – Training Session 2: EP/Non-US-style Patent Drafting
03:00PM – 03:30PM: Coffee Break
03:30PM – 05:00PM: Slot 3: US vs EP/Non-US-style Patent Drafting

There is no fixed time slots for manufacturers. But one thing is sure: once one manufacturer started to present at one time slot, the same manufacturer will not start again in another time slot, except that there is no other manufacturer left.

1. Who should attend the workshop?

People who are interested in not missing the train when it comes to automated patent drafting. The workshop is intended for patent attorneys, patent agents, and other professionals involved in the patenting process who are interested in learning to use robots for patent drafting. So if you have a serious interest in learning to work with automated patent drafting tools, this workshop is a must-attend. 

2. What topics will be covered in the workshop? 

The workshop will focus only on one thing – Live demonstrations of using various robots to draft patent applications. 

3. What are the packages available?

• Participant Seat: This option is for the workshop only and costs EUR 399.
• Participant Seat + White Book: This package costs EUR 675, which includes registration for the workshop and the purchase of the White Book. 
• Assisted Robot Patent Drafting + Participant Seat: This package costs EUR 2,238, which includes both the workshop and Assisted Robot Patent Drafting program. The advantage for you is that you pay EUR 399 less, as compared with purchasing the two items separately.
• 3-in-1 Bundle: This package costs EUR 2,514, which includes both the workshop and Assisted Robot Patent Drafting program, as well as the purchase of the White Book. 

4. Why is the Assisted Robot Patent Drafting program reflected as EUR 2,238.00 on Eventbrite?

The training session costs US$2,499, which is converted to EUR 2,238 and reflected on Eventbrite.  

5. What is Assisted Robot Patent Drafting?

Similar to a flight simulator training for professional pilots, we guide patent attorneys through the automated patent drafting process. Assisted Robot Patent Drafting Course combines expert training with state-of-the-art patent drafting robots to expedite the patent drafting workflow. We offer training courses for lawyers, patent attorneys, and patent engineers who want to improve the speed and quality of their patent drafting. 

At our core, we understand the challenges when it comes to drafting patents efficiently and effectively. With the ever-increasing demand for patent applications, it is crucial to streamline the drafting process without compromising on quality. 

6. Why I should sign up for Assisted Robot Patent Drafting? 

Assisted Robot Patent Drafting is the next step you should take after attending the workshop. It is the hands-on version of the workshop, in which a 1-2-1 training session with me will be conducted. We will guide you through the automated patent drafting procedure, from initial data extraction to fine-tuning the final output. 

7. Why it is recommended for me to buy the white book? 

The White Book is not just a summary of what happened during the World Robot Patent Drafting Symposium in September 2022. It also is a state-of-the-art reference for manufacturers and users of automated patent drafting tools, as of January 2023.

This would better prepare you before the workshop in September and this is also an opportunity for you to catch up with what all the serious patent drafting robot manufacturers of this world presented at the event.

8. Do I need to have programming skills to attend the workshop? 

No, programming skills are not necessary to attend the workshop. However, a basic understanding of patent law and the patenting process would be helpful. 

9. Will I be able to use a patent drafting robot on my own after the workshop? 

Yes, the workshop will provide hands-on training on how to use the patent drafting robot, and participants will have the opportunity to practice using the tools during the workshop. However, additional training and practice may be necessary to become proficient in using the tools on your own.

10. What are there only non-US-style patent drafting in the workshop schedule? 

In the upcoming workshop, we are going to focus on “EP-style/non-US-style” patent drafting, but we will have one session that focuses on the differences between “EP-style” patent drafting and “US-style” patent drafting. That is done in order to create awareness of what is “EP-style” patent drafting.

11. What are the different grades of patent application?

• Litigation Grade – Premier League approach, aimed at quickly obtaining a “litigation grade” patent with an early filing date, serving hardcore motives such as gaining greater market share, avoiding conflict with competitors, and establishing a basis for licensing agreements, requiring a 4-stage patent drafting technique with one application per inventive concept.
• Professional League -Here the goal is to quickly secure any patent grant by allowing multiple inventive concepts in a single application, emphasizing an early filing date without the need for litigation grade quality, and using the “ABCD” filing strategy along with a 3-stage embodiment-based patent drafting technique, while maintaining a divisional patent application to make the business more attractive to investors and deter competitors based on a long-term plan.
• Business Class – Prioritizes the rapid grant of a patent over all else, aiming to satisfy a bureaucrat’s demand for the device while effectively excluding competitors, using a low-cost, flat-fee, claim-based patent application drafting style and speeding up the patent prosecution process.
• Economy Plus – Emphasizes the importance of patent application quality without requiring litigation-grade standards, focusing on motives such as cross-licensing among a limited number of competitors, preventing employees from using company know-how to start their own businesses, and serving as evidence in project ownership disputes. This approach uses a 3-stage embodiment-based patent drafting technique and employs a cost-saving, low-key patent prosecution strategy.
• Standard Economy – Ignoring the factors of quality, speed to grant and early filing date, this approach applies to special cases where the objectives include creating an asset on the balance sheet, demonstrating individual creativity, obtaining tax benefits, securing exemptions from competition law restrictions and complying with specific legislation such as the German Employee Inventors Act. This approach advocates a low-cost, flat-fee, claim-based patent application drafting style, combined with cost-saving, low-key patent prosecution, choosing the least expensive option available or even considering a DIY approach.

12. Will there be a recording of the workshop?

There will be no recording of the workshop because we want to make sure the participants can have their own space, without the fear of what they say or do will be published later.

13. Is there any promo code available?

The promo code is only applicable to our VIP customers, in which you are entitled to EUR250 off the listed price. You are considered a VIP customer if you have bought the white book or taken part in any of our previous Robot Patent Drafting events.
