Hello folks. You now have an opportunity to binge-watch more than nineteen hours of training about ePCT. Who would have thought such a thing could be possible? And yet here it is … recordings for sixteen webinars about ePCT. You can also click to download the presentation materials, which comprise more than eight hundred presentation slides.
What if I want to learn about PCT, not ePCT? Perhaps the binge-watching that you desire is 14 hours of training on the Patent Cooperation Treaty, rather than 19 hours on ePCT? Then you are in luck. Click here.
Who is the presenter? Your presenter is Carl Oppedahl.
What does it cost? WIPO sponsored these webinars. So you will not have to pay anything to watch these recordings.
Are the webinars CLE-accredited? It takes tens of hours and voluminous paperwork, as well as lots of fee payments, to obtain CLE accreditation in the 37 or so states that provide CLE accreditations. Most of those states have procedures that favor very large and high-volume CLE businesses and that favor providers that are located in-state. We find most of the states to be distinctly unfriendly to small low-volume educational providers such as our firm, both in terms of fees to be paid and paperwork to be suffered through. We would have to charge a very high registration fee to cover the time and fees and paperwork for CLE accreditation. So no, these free-of-charge webinars are not CLE-accredited.
