With President Campinos and President Mair

The first season of Two IPs In A Pod is coming to an end – and what an ending we have for you! António Campinos, President of the European Patent Office, tells Lee and Gwilym how the EPO’s plans to digitise and virtualise the EPO’s services have been accelerated in response to the coronavirus pandemic. And in an exclusive for the podcast, he confirms that the European Qualifying Exam (EQE) will be held online next year. CIPA’s own President, Richard Mair, joins the conversation to explain how his plans for 2020 were impacted by COVID-19 and how CIPA has responded to the crisis.
