Dear all,
the EPO has published its annual report for 2019 https://www.epo.org/news-events/news/2020/20200630a.html (see newsletter below) giving an update on implementing their “Strategic Plan 2023”.
Since we talked about it at our last conference call: there is no mention whatsoever about the Observatory. - In the Strategic Plan they outlined that they wanted to create an Observatory:
Strategic Plan 2023 https://www.epo.org/about-us/office/strategy.html :
“[...] the EPO will create an observatory serving as an inclusive platform that brings together public and private stakeholders from across civil society to discuss and debate developments in innovation and patents.”
Best,
Johanna
