Pre-Exam 2022: our answers to the claims analysis questions
The first claims part was about yoga mats and textile bags for completely covering and for transporting yoga mats. The second claims part was about sethod for preserving wine, or -more general- alcoholic beverages, in a bottle.
As in the legal part, when you check your answers with ours, note that the order of the statements within a question may be different!

During the exam, candidates had access to the EPO Legal Text pages, so including the full EPC Articles and Rules, Guidelines, GL/PCT-EPO, National Law Tables, Case Law, and the Euro-PCT Guide (HTML versions), but not to the PCT Legal Texts on www.wipo.int/pct/en. Access was to the live versions, so to the versions in force on 18 March 2022 (so not the version of 31.10.2021 acc REE/IPEE).
Candidates could access the exam in all languages, English, French and German.
The exam had a mix of common and less-common claims analysis topics.
Please do not post your comments anonymously - it is allowed, but it makes responding more difficult and rather clumsy ("Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms Anonymous of 18-03-2022 22:23"), whereas using your real name or a nickname is more personal, more interesting and makes a more attractive conversation. You do not need to log in or make an account - it is OK to just put your (nick) name at the end of your post.
Note: the legal part is discussed in our other blog post: here.
