Can post-filed data be used to support inventive step in European patent applications? Filing a patent is often a balancing act, especially when time pressures prevent gathering all supporting data upfront. But is there room to submit new data later, and how could it impact your application? Emma Foster and Mark Schuster take a look at how the European Patent Office (EPO) evaluates post-filed evidence, with insights from recent case law. Understanding the nuances of decision G2/21 could be crucial during examination or opposition proceedings.

Earlier this week, Richard Gibbs, Partner at Marks & Clerk, was featured in Law360 commenting on the Intellectual Property Office UK's (UKIPO) 2023/24 Innovation and Growth Report. In the article, Richard highlighted the key role the UKIPO is playing in developing the UK’s IP landscape, stating that "the recent surge in applications before the UKIPO, coupled with applicant-driven demand for robust and easy-to-use online procedures, should continue to drive the UKIPO’s ambition to improve and modernize. The support offered by the UKIPO to applicants of all types, should not be underestimated."
