To celebrate many years of cooperation and to mark the gold and silver jubilees of LES Benelux and ASTP, we are delighted to announce a joint, exclusive visit to the European Patent Office (EPO) in The Hague. This special event takes place on Wednesday, 1 October 2025, as a direct follow-up to the LES Pan-European Conference.
Thanks to the kind support of the EPO, participants will gain a unique behind-the-scenes look at the EPO’s innovation support services.
Participants will benefit from a series of focused sessions led by EPO experts, including:
Deep Finding Tools by EPO
Patent Examination Process
A dialogue on IP management for positive social impact, featuring speakers from LES, ASTP, and EPO
