Cost reduction for European patents: Presentation on the effects of the London Agreement on European patent translation costs

We have previously reported on the London Agreement which came into effect at the start of May.  See article entitled:

London Agreement to Enter into Force on 1 May 2008

We were delighted to give a seminar to Japanese companies and patent attorneys on various aspects of cost reduction for European patents in conjunction with AIPPI Japan in Tokyo in May 2008.

One presentation focused on the effects of the London Agreement in reducing the requirement for translations of patent specifications after grant, and a copy of that presentation with audio is given here.
