Each year in October, DeltaPatents offers a Full Program for Formalities Officers/IP Administrators, in co-operation with the Dutch “Platform Formalities Officers”. The program will run until May. Candidates who will take the exam, have priority. Candidates enrolling for the full program also have priority. Due to the Covid-19 situation we have decided to offer the training course as an online course. Course days will be half days (9.00 – 12.30 hrs.).
The modules were developed by DeltaPatents in consultation with the Dutch Platform Formalities Officers, www.formalitiesofficers.nl. The basic modules represent the core foundation of knowledge required by a formalities officer/ip administrator. The total program is expected to consist of four modules. The basic modules provide terminology, overviews, and a core understanding of the processes to be performed by the formalities officer/ip administrator. Where possible, tuition will be in the native language. The information provided will be internalized during the course using many exercises/cases.
The Dutch exam for Formalities Officers is held each year. DeltaPatents offers a full training program in preparation of this exam, focussing on providing the desired knowledge and competences to the participants. The training contains 4 modules: General Aspects Patents + Core EPC Procedures, PTC Procedures + Foreign Systems, NL Patent Procedure + Changes of Ownership and Trademarks & Designs.
“Good, focused on the exam, but also practically oriented.”
We have more than 20 years of experience in EQE training. This provides a solid basis for our extensive range of IP courses. Our training courses focus on giving insight and understanding, and ensuring that the acquired knowledge can be practically applied.
At DeltaPatents we thoroughly train and guide our tutors. For our tutors, training is a more than a profession; it is mastered by teamwork. As our tutors spend most of their time preparing and giving courses, they are very experienced and knowledgeable. We take feedback of attendants seriously and act on it. For us, quality and customer satisfaction are essential.
