Tuesday, November 19, 2019 Updates to our L-, P- and D-books for EQE2020

In view of legal changes that only became known after our Questions and Answers books were published, which supersede and/or supplemente some of the legal references (OJ, case law) in our books, we provide three update documents on our website, for our books:

• "Basic legal Questions for Pre-Exam and Paper D" (“L-book”, edition July 2019, EQE 2020): update 15 Nov 2019

• "Main-Exam Questions for Paper D" (“D-book”, edition July 2019, EQE 2020): update 15 Nov 2019

Each document comprises updates and corrections to the Introduction, the Study Guide (not in the P-book), Questions and Answers in the books in view of:

• Publications in OJ EPO after the Book was printed (OJ July 2019 – 31 Oct 2019) - incl. the new ADA/AAD (in force since 1 October 2019);
• Publications in PCT Newsletter after the Book was printed (PCT NL July 2019 – 31 Oct 2019);
• New How to Get Guide (19th edition, issued 7 October 2019, updated to 1 April 2019);
• Corrections to the questions and answers;
• Answers to referrals G 1/18 and G 2/19 (not yet in OJ).

Note that the legal syllabus is defined as valid on 31 October 2019 (Rule 2 IPREE), on which the November 2018-edition of the Guidelines GL/EPO and GL/PCT-EPO was in force.
