12th OPEN FORUM Munich 8-10 September 2010 Presentations

>>>Forum Working Program - "at a glance" and "full details" FICPI's 12th Open Forum maintained the well-tested multi-choice format of three series of topics of current interest in PATENTS, TRADEMARKS and GENERAL issues during the two days of the Forum. The sessions were presented concurrently in English, which gave delegates the choice to attend during each session the seminar which was of most interest to them. The session subjects were chosen to be topical, practical and relevant to day-to-day practice. A lively social programme, interwoven with the working programme, gave Delegates and Accompanying Persons alike an opportunity to see some of the local treasures and provided plenty of opportunity to exchange ideas and make new friends.
