G 1/25: When must the description be adapted to amended claims?

On 3 September 2026, the Enlarged Board of Appeal of the European Patent Office issued its decision in G 1/25 “Hydroponics”, clarifying a long-debated question in European patent practice: when claims are amended, must the description also be adapted? The Enlarged Board held that an inconsistency between amended claims and the description or drawings must be addressed if it results in non-compliance with a requirement of the European Patent Convention (EPC) . However, the EPC does not directly and explicitly require applicants to amend the description merely to achieve formal consistency with the amended claims.

Mastering post-grant complexity: European patent validation in the Unitary Patent era

Mastering post-grant complexity: European patent validation in the Unitary Patent era

For experienced Intellectual Property (IP) professionals, a patent grant decision issued by the European Patent Office (EPO) marks the start of a compressed, high‑risk execution phase. The post‑grant window demands precise coordination across jurisdictions and choices that directly affect enforceability and portfolio value. With the Unitary Patent now established as an additional protection route, European patent validation has evolved into a more strategic decision-making process that requires balancing geographic coverage, enforcement considerations, budget constraints and long-term portfolio objectives.

Luxury beyond categories: trademark strategy in the wellness era

Luxury beyond categories: trademark strategy in the wellness era

Luxury brands no longer remain confined to predictable commercial boundaries. Fashion houses open cafés, beauty brands operate spas, heritage maisons launch wellness programs and hospitality groups foster the emotional environments that serve as core components of a new value proposition – as seen, for instance, in Dior's café and spa concepts or Gucci's Osteria ventures.

New USPTO rule aimed at foreign patent applicants coming into effect July 20

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published a final rule on March 19, 2026, requiring foreign patent applicants and patent owners to be represented by a practitioner registered and in good standing with the Office. The rule, which comes into effect on July 20, 2026, marks a procedural shift from previous practice, which allowed both foreign and U.S. applicants to represent themselves.
How to plan successful IP mediation

How to plan successful IP mediation

Mediation offers several significant benefits to parties with Intellectual Property (IP) quarrels. It is often quicker and cheaper than litigation, is confidential, can resolve related conflicts in multiple jurisdictions and can lead to commercially focused solutions (which may not be available from the courts). When all parties engage in good faith, moderated talks can lead to a win-win situation, where old disagreements are settled and future business opportunities created. 
10 years on from the Brexit vote

10 years on from the Brexit vote

June 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of the United Kingdom's referendum on membership of the European Union. By a narrow majority, the country consented to end a period of harmonization that had begun in January 1973 with the then European Communities. Through an unheard-of withdrawal from the world's most sophisticated political and economic union, the Brexit vote has impacted many areas of law and policy over the past decade, including Intellectual Property (IP).
Transforming IP management: the shift from digital tools to intelligent systems

Transforming IP management: the shift from digital tools to intelligent systems

For many years, Intellectual Property (IP) software solutions have been built around a clear and necessary objective: bringing structure to complexity. IP portfolios can span multiple jurisdictions, legal frameworks and business priorities. They may include patents, trademarks, designs and a range of adjacent matters such as licenses, oppositions, agreements, domain names and other rights that require careful tracking and coordination. Managing this landscape demands precision and reliable visibility.
Everyday IP: Easter and the economics of commercial distinctiveness

Everyday IP: Easter and the economics of commercial distinctiveness

As a religious and cultural tradition, the symbols of Easter exist independently of corporate control; these beliefs, motifs and customs are living heritage, and the imagery associated with the holiday is free for all to use. No organization holds a monopoly on the concept of a spring rebirth, and no conglomerate owns a patent on the eponymous bunny.
