The Division of Patent Law regularly organizes events addressing topics and developments in the field of patent law. These events serve as a forum for the exchange of expertise and current insights by illuminating relevant issues in a constantly changing legal environment. Particular emphasis is placed on the impact of new technologies and international developments, enabling discussions on both legal challenges and opportunities for scientists, companies, and start-ups. The Division thus contributes to deepening the understanding of patent law and intellectual property in chemistry and related fields.
