Required subjects for the European Patent Litigation Certificate
As discussed earlier the Draft Proposal for Rules On The European Patent Litigation Certificate And Other Appropriate Qualifications that was published allows European patent attorneys to represent parties before the unified patent court if they have a European Patent Litigation Certificate.
Having such a certificate is not required to represent parties before the UPC. For one thing, you could be a lawyer. It would also be sufficient to have a law degree in addition to being a European patent attorney.
So presumably the certificate aims to teach patent attorneys those parts of a law degree that are needed to go before the court.
The draft contains a list of 8 topics that a course for the European patent litigation certificate should cover. Below I'll categorize the requirements and compare them with a typical law curriculum. (I have done a law bachelor, so mainly I'll compare the certificate to what happened to be required at my University).
