'The book is an excellent read for anyone preparing for their first oppositions or appeals, as it gives a very good overview with practical tips as well as common pitfalls to avoid. For the more experienced ones, the big benefit of the book is the abundant references to case law. A section I particularly appreciated was the very clear and explicit explanation of hearing of witnesses. Another big bonus is of course the references to the 2020 Rules of Procedure of the Boards of Appeal.'--Kaisa Suominen, Moosedog Oy, Finland'This excellent book brings together the theory and practice of opposition and appeal at the European Patent Office. The expert authors explain the legal framework in an accessible manner and provide numerous tips which are based on many years of experience. This book helps you to make the right choices already during drafting the patent application and in opposition so that you will be in the best possible starting position for your appeal under the 2020 Rules of Procedure.'--Nyske Blokhuis, EP&C Patent Attorneys, the Netherlands/Belgium
