The second EPO Online Services User Day of 2011 will be held in Istanbul on
29 September. The User Day is primarily aimed at patent attorneys, IP support staff
and staff responsible for the technical implementation of Online Filing.
The morning session of the programme includes practical sessions on Online Filing
for both new users or users with little experience of the Online Filing software. For
more experienced users who want to find out more about formalities and procedural
features and changes effective as of 1 January 2011 a distinct workshop is offered.
In response to popular demand, an additional module has been added to the programme
to give more experienced Online Filing users the opportunity to practise the knowledge
and skills acquired in the morning session on the basis of practical examples.
Hands-on workshops on Online Fee Payment, PatXML and the recently launched BiSSAP
(Biological Sequence Submission Application for Patents) are offered in the afternoon.
In addition a seminar on the European patent grant procedure will be offered.
Throughout the day, three different technical workshops on Online Filing are offered to
meet the requirements of technical support staff responsible for the technical installation
of Online Filing. The working language is English. Workshops on Online Filing (starter
level), Online Fee Payment and PatXML will be offered in German and French as well
if there is sufficient interest (minimum of six registered participants per language).
