Recensioner i media

‘This new work by the experienced team of Marcus Müller and Cees Mulder bridges the judicial insight of a Board chairman with the academic expertise of a seasoned educator. Together, they offer both a procedural guide and a practical toolkit grounded in the realities of everyday Board practice. The book excels at distilling complex procedural mechanisms into clear, well-structured chapters supported by visual aids, case examples, and relevant practitioner tips—such as guidance on drafting appeal submissions. Its three-tiered approach—integrating theory, examples, and practical advice—makes it uniquely valuable for both day-to-day practice and strategic case preparation. Especially useful are the detailed compendium on the admissibility regime for late submissions under the RPBA 2020 and the practical guidance on presenting at hearings. Whether you are a patent attorney working on an appeal, a candidate aiming to master the EQE framework, or a patent owner seeking to defend your hard-earned patent rights, this book will prove an invaluable companion.’
