The workshop is divided into six (6) time slots, starting from 9:00 AM Malaysia 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.

Because of the time difference between the US and Asia, this is how we provide the time slots:

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

09:00AM – 10:30AM: Slot 0: Training Session 1 – US-style Patent Drafting
10:30AM – 11:00AM: Coffee Break
11:00AM – 12:30PM: Slot 1: Training Session 2 – US-style Patent Drafting
12:30PM – 02:00PM: Lunch
02:00PM – 03:30PM: Slot 2: Training Session 3 – Non-US-style Patent Drafting
03:30PM – 04:00PM: Coffee Break
04:00PM – 05:30PM: Slot 3: Training Session 4 – Non-US-style Patent Drafting
05:30PM – 07:30PM: Dinner
07:30PM – 09:00PM: Slot 4: Training Session 5 – Non-US-style Patent Drafting
09:00PM – 09:30PM: Coffee Break
09:30PM – 11:00PM: Slot 5: Training Session 6 – US-style Patent Drafting

We have 6 manufacturers for 6 time slots, and there are no fixed time slots. 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.

Key Benefits for the Attendees

We have published the White Book for our First Robot Patent Drafting Symposium and we highly recommend that you read it before attending the workshop. You can book your seat and buy the book here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/robot-patent-drafting-workshop-2023-tickets-586586916257

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. How many days is the conference, and what about the INTA conference afterward?

It is a one day event, and the venue is in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. We intentionally chose this location so that early visitors for the INTA can get some flavor of Malaysia as well. You have sufficient time after this workshop to look around Malaysia before INTA Annual Meeting starts on May 16, 2023. We do not have an overlap between these two events because many participants of the Radical Robot Patent Drafting workshop will also participate in the INTA Annual Meeting 2023.

3. What is the difference between Observer and Training seat?

Training Seat: You get hands-on training to draft a patent application in a 1-1 interactive session. With a 100%-money-back guarantee. We will make sure that you will be successful.

Observer Seat: You can watch while others draft their patent applications.  

4. What topics will be covered in the workshop? 

The workshop will focus only on one thing. Hands-on training to use a robot to draft a patent application. 

5. 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. 

6. 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
