I started this blog in 2020, while preparing for the EQE main exams. After passing all exams for the first time with flying colours, I started supporting other candidates on their EQE journey.
Since then, I tutored more than 150 candidates regularly (on a weekly basis), including people from prestigious companies such as the EPO, Finnegan, Keltie LLP, Grünecker, Maiwald, Hoffmann Eitle, Barker Brettell, Brann AB, Laine IP, Bergenstråhle & Partners, Nestle, Kuhnen & Wacker, Betten & Resch, P&TS, Appleyard Lees, Onsagers, Abel+Imray, Simmons & Simmons, Clarke Modet, Pirelli, Adidas, Novo Nordisk, Knauf, tesa SE, Japan Tobacco International and Roche and held about 300 meetings as an EQE tutor.

New R.126(2) EPC and the 7-day rule
Most people are happy that we don't have to use the 10-day rule anymore. However, do you know how the new R.126(2) EPC works? Is the 7-day rule easier to deal with?
You might have heard that the new R.126(2) is similar to the time limit calculation in PCT. But this information only helps if you know how time limit calculation works in PCT. :)
So, here is your refresher about the 7-day rule.
Refresher: Entry into EP phase and R.161 EPC
Entry into the Euro-PCT phase comes up at almost every EQE, so I wrote a summary of this topic as a refresher. Good news: this post also includes printable PDFs that you all love.
Refresher: Opposition
When I was preparing for the Pre-exam and Paper D, I often had difficulties with the topic of opposition, so I wanted to provide you with a summary of this long and difficult topic.
Refresher: EP validation
There is not a big focus on European Patent Validation in Paper D, but while not read a little refresher on the topic?
Refresher: Disclaimers
Disclaimers may also be a topic in the EQE, so I decided to revise it and prepare a summary hoping that it can be helpful for you as well.
Refresher: Partial priority
Partial priority can easily be a topic in this year’s Paper D, so I decided to revise it and prepare a summary hoping that it can be helpful for you as well.
Thank you!
I really hope you found my free templates and printable documents helpful!
