For example, I couldn't open the paper next to the editor in D2 (worked in D1 and A-C, but not for D2). The D paper is a single paper with a DI part (legal questions - to test legal knowledge) and a DII part (legal assessment - to test ability to implement the knowledge), as described in Rule 26 IPREE. My best would be that changing the order of the questions but no single character required a less extensive review and approval process than if they would have renumbered the questions. you mean the receiving office? I started the flow D1-1 in time and was in the LockdownBrowser. They could at least allow people to archive the mock papers.Really bad management and handling of the eEQE to be honest. E.g., if 17 for D1-1 + 15 for D1-2, then give 32 for D1.b) if D1-1 score is quite a bit lower than D1-2 score but not less than half of the D1-2 score, and the D1-2 score is larger than 10 marks: forget D1-1 and give 2* the number of D1-2 marks for the D1 as a whole. I really allows to stay focused and to take a good break in-between.

Each Contracting State is free to apply measures deemed necessary for the preservation of its national security. You're not amending the claim to S+Y+B, you are adding a new claim to S+Y+A, which was already disclosed in the application as filed. Was the additional 15 minutes in each DI apart and the additional 30 minutes in the DII part sufficient to compensate for the restrictions caused by the fixed time schedule of 3 parts? I said WUFF would argue Art. That’s not nice, I didn’t even start with the last one in D1-1. epi-learning. I think the question required a lot of analysis in relation to why such amendments are not possible. That was not possible either however as the button to download was deactivated. I think this time it is a difficult situation for EPO and also all of us, and we need to understand each other, rather than only complaining, because no one likes this, but still it happened, just like anything else in the life. Paper D; Compendium Paper DI Mock 2 e-EQE 2021 (EN) Compendium Paper DI Mock 2 e-EQE 2021 (EN) 157.7KB PDF document. Did anyone else had this issue? No EN or FR version available at the start. Technically it was a stresstest, perhaps good for airplane pilot training?Content: at least it was an exam worthy of the forced year of extra studying due to corona. Compendium of the papers of the European qualifying examination. But I was in the lucky situation of being a benchmarker rather than a candidate “for real”, so I remembered that there had been reports on our blog on the same issue during the Mocks and that the solution was to refresh your browser. Both times only the DE assignment was available. They also clearly didn't check the system today before the exam started. The Direct Messages were sober. "They gave it to all, but not all actually received it: you only received if after a browser refresh; without a browser refresh you did not receive it. No need for essentiality test, S+Y+A was already present in application as filed. into the exam - that I restart and use the invigilator password. But can you remove B? M. I think you're mixing up 123(2) and 123(3). So I don't see. Papers D Part II. For example, if a EP application discloses an embodiment where a widget is included in a submarine and an embodiment where the same widget is included in a helicopter but grants with claims only directed to the widget included in the submarine, you cannot post-grant amend to replace the submarine with the helicopter as the scope of protection will have been extended. Also, now that my emotions are calming down, I have the feeling that D-II was the exact same as a D-II worth 60 points. Paper. There are 13 entries on my list, it was all very complex.And thanks to the language issue I failed seeing that S+O+C could kill W-EP. But... it made me also think a few minutes: is there a snag? it's still and international app either way but the rO is different depending on language. If one condidate is failed (< 50 points) based on the normal score he obtained for the whole D paper, provided that he wrote the paper in English or French, then the highest score he got from the 6 questions in DI should be added to the normal score he got as stated above. It's not possible to change B to A because of A. A good pass is possible by scoring 75% of the available points for 75% of the legal issues. Candidates have worked hard and prepared. If S+Y+A was disclosed in the application as filed then you can add a claim to it without infringing A 123(2) EPC. Get the latest issues delivered direct to your inbox, Filing trends reveal impact of the pandemic, See our learning resources about patent searching, Conditions for registration and enrolment, Compendium (past papers, examiners' reports). 123(2) EPC tho. Also not for the other parts as you keep thinking about this issue at every start.Too bad that the committee did not double check that all documents were available or not. 123(3) is violated and this would be a stronger argument, but I did care to say how the EPO Opp DIV would rule. Is S+O+C in HP-PCT novelty destroying for S+O when WUFF disclosed S+O in W-IT? So that puzzled me. okay understand, i thought they would give all candidates for D1.1 a full mark. So, my refresh appeared to be a best guess, which worked. Same for mandatory filing with your national office for an EP.There is "just" a sanction on you in your national law. Applicant D was the applicant for all, but each application had a wrinkle. Was EP-D0 and US-D filed by the same applicant? They said that “normally” the answers are auto-saved, but I don’t know what “normally” exactly means in this case One last comment: what I find a bit unfair in the new e-eqe scheme is that we can’t manage the time as we please since we are forced to hand in the answers in the different modules and then correcting them is not possible afterwards. If so, why (e.g., too difficult, allocating the time for another question, no time left)? @ Anonymous 2 March 2021 at 17:35: indeed, those were the main big issues, besides the usual patentability and exploitation discussions.If you still have questions on any of the aspects raised/discussed in the thread above after having check the blog post with our DII answer (http://eqe-d.blogspot.com/2021/03/d-2021-dii-part.html), then please post your question/comment there. Yes, P-EP could be saved by claiming S+Y+A. This issue was not positive for the paper. This collection contains the examination papers of the European qualifying examination of the current year in the three official languages, the examiners' reports on each paper drawn up by the examination committees and examples of successful candidates, answers in the three official languages. They cannot of course undo the course of events, so they cannot undo that the trouble affected you and your paper.Any ideas from all of you? I did not even notice that the English version arrived later in the exam. Enjoy! Good idea for me: I worked in Q.1 and Q.2 in normal detail level and did not get to Q.6 in D1-1.But I can imagine that others were completely shocked and could hardly act.Or that they rushed to try to finish in time. Which of the the DI Questions did you consider particularly difficult, and which relatively 'easy'? I also panicked for a few minutes and then concluded that panicking would not help me and I just went on with the German questions while writing my answers in English. I understand the EPO tradition regarding the alphebet order, but isn't it easier and fairer to simply move the paper-EN before paper-DE?? I did all the mocks, all the info sessions, all the e-EQE reading, and I never saw these issues. Until and including 2012, the D paper was composed of a 3-hour DI in the morning and a 4-hour DII in the afternoon, with a … No email or MyEQE message yet wherein the secretariat showed any understanding for the situation they got us in. Just an idea. Presumably, the paper was originally designed as a EQE2021 paper D paper, with 50 mark DI and 50 mark DII (in line with the announcement that it would not necessarily be 40:60, but somewhere in the range 40:60 - 60:40) and that paper was basically ready and approved at all various levels in July. It was not so easy to find. So you end up with not enable S+Y+B+A. From 2007 onwards the papers contain German and French translations of the examiners' reports originally drawn up by the examination committees in English. The maximum number of marks that can be awarded in the (main) examination is 400. I found rendering it inadmissible due to lack of disclosure too simple to be true. I feel your pain, same situation. Those parts of the question paper, which candidates have included in their answer, have been reproduced in italics. My first impression: pretty much the worst case for such an exam. To find a solution for each scenario will likely require a tailored approach. Next you need to bring that into EP phase to gain rights from it. That's a clear client wish. Did you skip any DI-questions? Also I was not able to hand in my DII. 87(1). Terrible! I found out 10 mins before the end that I actually had an extra 20 minutes. Third parties S+Y+A safe in their belief that the patent was not going to be broadened, would now be severely disadvantaged when feature B was replaced with A.Also A123(2) is for an application, but at this stage we are talking about a granted patent, so A123(3) seems more applicable. Maybe I over thought it. You cannot replace S+Y+A with S+Y+B post-grant as this clearly violates A123(3), because A is not solely within scope of B and B is a limitation. basically, the claim can't include B because of insufficiency. All EPC and PCT subjects may be tested, but you will not be equally strong on all subjects. because a different language has been selected, it might be necessary to refresh the browser, for the overlay window to display it. I was thinking it was punishment for Brexit? Particularly having had both of the breaks cut in length - particularly the 45-minute "lunch break" before D2 - there simply was no time.I'd have had a packed lunch ready if it was the old-style 5.5 hours non-stop exam; but given that we supposedly had 45 minutes before D2, I had nothing prepared.Rather than the breaks helping to dissipate the stress and worry, they introduced further stress and worry. The EQE, held once a year, comprises five papers: Pre-examination - assesses candidates' ability to answer legal questions and questions relating to the drafting of claims; Paper A - tests the candidate's ability to draft claims and the introductory part of a European patent application. Did they mean April 2019? Happened to mr - I was mid flow answering a section and the system just went blank, wiseflow disappeared and could just see my desktop...panicked to get in touch with invigilator and completely lost my flow of concentration tbh. Candidates that scored well on it, in whatever language and in whatever time, should not be adversely affected by having their answers to D1-1 ignored. [No action even though these candidates may be unfairly advantaged but this was not through their own actions]- had no EN/FR paper, started somehow using the DE paper, received 30 minutes extra (DE speakers), therefore 2 hours exam somehow. As a German speaker I did not have the language issues and thought it to be a quite fair exam. I don't know how it can be compensated but the knock on effects from the D paper was distributed throughout the whole week, not just D paper but obviously this cannot be taken into account for the whole week but just highlighting the effect, for me at least, it had. [Updated 04.03.2021 9:00:] We compiled a complete version of the D 2021 paper (both D1 parts, the DII part and the calendars): it is available here. That's interesting, I got the EN paper at exactly 9:02 (UK time) as well! I was always worried about clicking the wrong paper and sitting there waiting before realising I had clicked the wrong paper and therefore losing some time - luckily it didn't happen. It doesn't matter if the application as filed discloses S+Y+A as well, because the granted claims did not cover the scope of S+Y+A. woof woof2 March 2021 at 20:29, this would still mean you removed feature B, which is a broadening. Everythingnwent so quick. Seriously!! I didn't receive a zendesk response for at least 20 minutes. Any ideas are welcome, as long as you consider your solution to be fair and reasonable; preferably realistic, but it may be original and quasi-exotic.Thanks for your ideas!NB1: giving 25 marks to the D1-1 part for all candidates does not seem a realistic solution to me: if a candidate only scored 20 our of the other 75 (D1-1 and D2), that candidate cannot be expected to have scored 25 marks on D1-1, but rather 20/75 * 25 = 7 marks (assuming the efficiency of marking to be constant over the whole paper, D1+D2), getting to a total of 20 + 7 = 27. Wiseflow could supposedly not “establish connection” and so I had to download my answer. The client was left in a dire situation, very depressing after the language mess earlier.I could kill S+O+C but that is useless as Wuff still keeps S+O. I did not suspect this being a typo since the front page also referred to Question 6 ;) Probably the question was added or shifted to have both D parts with equal points? I also saw no remedy for P-EP, except that I think the revoked patent could be converted under art. There is: G 1/99. [Probably take best answer and adjust accordingly]. What makes it worse is that I very much planned with the announced extra time, hence got cut off when least expected, Same here, but I got back in with invigilation password after 13 minutes of rebooting my computer.So 17 minutes extra instead if 30. So that actually was leading away from the solution rather than pointing to itTips for candidates v 0.4 (as updated after Mock 2 and 3), section 1 addresses language selection, but does not indicate that it may happen that you cannot select the language. I thank the Examination Board for their message on the day after the exam.But the EQE secretariat did not make any apologies yet, even though that would have been appropriate. Paper D. Paper DI Q1-3 Mock 2 e-EQE 2021 (DE) Paper DI Q1-3 Mock 2 e-EQE 2021 (EN) E.g.,: disregarding D1-1 completely, and doubling the amount of marks for D1-2, so that the total marks for D1 is still 50. Did you have a look at this? I simply doubt it, because for different candidate the difficulty of D1.1 and D1.2 could be very different.My suggestion would be simply adding the highest score from 6 questions to the real score the candidate has obtained, to make sure that the extra 30 minutes which can generate the best personal performance are given to the candidate. Badly affected by today. Pete Pollard on Salted patent blogspot has created a template to file a complaint. In my opinion, it would be fair if all technical issues will be somehow taken into account when marking, not only the D1-language problem.However, a fair, general compensation will be quite difficult. For questions (a) and (b) it was clear, but (c) got tricky. For candidates struggling with technical issues everyday it was very hard so simply focus on the paper and do the job. I ended up rushing and then told 10 minutes before the exam ends you got a bit more time. EQE Compendium - access to the legal texts, official periodicals, books, brochures, newsletters, reports and studies published by the EPO. I don't see how this D-II was less work than a 60 point total of past papers. [Take best two answers and adjust accordingly]- had no EN/FR paper and did NOT receive 30 minutes extra, therefore 1hour exam. This trust is based in the usual behaviour of the Examination Board (aiming to be fair and reasonable) and very specifically also on the speed with which the Examination Board posted their message -already the next day- that shows their intention without any disclaimers.I hope that you all could recover reasonably during D1-1, better for D1-2, and were more-or-less in normal shape and state-of-mind during D2. [take best two answers and adjust accordingly]- had no EN/FR paper but received 30 minutes extra, therefore only 1h30 exam. @Anonymous 2 March 2021 at 19:34:Yes, Q.5 explicitly said it was a PCT application:Applicant E, resident and national of Portugal, filed an international application PCT-E on 3 January 2021 at the EPO. I had language issues both in D1-1 and D1-2. it wreacked my first part!! It was the stress, the feeling that 3 years of preparation will be for nothing. With Q.1, Q.2, Q.6 in D1-1 and Q.3, Q.4, Q.5 in D1-2 as a result. Well, in the end, who care about the Q-number? I guess I was dreaming, sorry for the stupid question. 9:31 CET...you have 1000 new messages. Though I refreshed the page and then it was handed in... wasted my time there.So I only had 10-15 min for my lunch. I prepared a lot. Why not giving out a free licence to W in exchange for them withdrawing their opposition? Problem is that I think today's event will affect me for the rest of the week. General. But you can only use undisclosed disclaimers against ARt. yes, I had to train myself for a month NOT to hit alt-tab. When I moved the mouse to the side making room on the working table, I was thrown out of the LockdownBrowser and landed on the Windows surface. However, using this limited system as well as constantly switching between reference book / timeline on paper and the monitor took too much time and attention during the exam. It seems that the document was not available at all. therefore, can delete claim to S+Y+B and add a claim to S+Y+A without adding subject matter. It affect my performance for the whole today and NOT just DI part 1. This was distracting and I lost time and concentration because of that. There was a lot to cover and I didn't finish all questions. They are therefore not perfect, and have been included simply as examples of satisfactory answers awarded the grade "PASS". This is BASIC!! Paper DII (PDF, 149 KB) Examiners' Report (PDF, 64 KB) Candidate's Answer (PDF, 76 KB) 2011. ;), Brexit was clearly the best thing you could have possibly done, so it may have been envy at most! What was the effect of doing it online? I knew there was partial priority issue (AL EP-D0), but I was not exactly sure how it would matter. Impossible. You can't remove B from the claim because then you are extending the scope of protection. I feel sorry for the organizers, I wouldn't wnat to be in their shoes now, having to somehow find a solution for the people who got kicked out half an hour early, or did not get their assignments until half an hour late. Aufgabe D 125 KB Herunterladen : Prüferbericht: 568 KB Herunterladen : Prüfungsarbeit … No "Step by step to the e-EQE" for the EQE organization itself? Yes, DII was a mess. It is very unprofessional from the EPO to provide this broken system for professional examinations. Previous Activity Compendium Paper DI Mock 2 e-EQE 2021 (DE) Next Activity EP-D1 still has valid priority from US patent application. Bitte beachten Sie die umfangreiche Online-Hilfe samt interaktiven Screenshots. What was the effect of the situation that you had to take the exam largely from the screen (as only a small part could be printed) rather than from paper? Same for me. etc.Bad form from the EQE committee in my opinion. A good pass is They have had nearly a year to get something in place. I wrote at least two emails to the Helpdesk reporting the language issues and told them that a simple solution is to put the paper-EN first instead of paper-DE, as everyone knows english well. You simply can't do that. You need to understand your strengths and weaknesses, and to prepare accordingly. I had the same problem today, screen disappeared for no reason! Those guidelines deal with Art. The EPO acknowledges the issues with Paper D1.1. I drafted a time line, only to discover too much happened around June 2018 so I had to redraft on a new sheet of paper, only to get into trouble in autumn 2020 so I had to make the timelines on a THIRD sheet of paper. The only thing that got me confused was (c). In any case, just to get the marks, I laid down the entire case for 54(2) as well (no accidental anticipation because from same field etc) but concluded that in this case, its still 54(3). The biggest so far in the EPO list of errors by far. I just checked my answers again. As a matter of fact, at home alone, you dont know that you are not the only one having the issue and that people are working in the background to solve it. I wonder if partial priority applied later. same here. a single error in one of the legal issues or one of the patentability issues in DII have a big knock-on effect on the rest of the paper (the D papers of the last seven years were very well designed in this respect!)? DONT FORGET11. Hi, Roel or other folks, do you guys have any idea what the message from the Examination Board exactly means? "[Take best answer and adjust accordingly, this critically allows for the unexpected lack of the paper at the start and the unexpected termination also]And there is also candidates that wanted to take the exam in EN, but did the complete exam in DE as they did not get noted that the EN version was available after 6 minutes nor after 30 minutes nor at a later moment in time. Because of that, it is recommended to first open the overlay window after the assignment has been selected in the desired language (consultations of the other languages can be in the separate tabs – see below).”And when I checked all our blogs with the comments from all of you: http://eqe-deltapatents.blogspot.com/2020/12/e-eqe-platform-will-go-online-on-21.html mentioned the issue in some comments (by me, 22 December 2020; by Anonymous 22 December 2020 at 22:00), but only in relation to the side-by-side view not showing the selected language, and not in relation to no selection being presented.If I overlooked it somewhere, please correct me in a comment to this comment!
