Fantastic, thank you, Carl, for organizing!
# 2 should be first, though, “Why attorneys need to learn about ePCT, why you cannot simply delegate stuff to support staff”.
If some are convinced after that Webinar, then they should proceed to learn the basics (Webinar #1).
Problem is, how can we (paralegals etc.) get them (attorneys) to realize they should participate? ?
Glad you’re doing these, but why don’t they appear on the list of webinars on WIPO’s own site?
They do appear on the list of webinars on WIPO’s own site. See https://www.wipo.int/export/sites/www/pct/en/seminar/seminar.pdf .
