Live demo with the European Patent Office in the Haag.

The highlight of the Vistafon Business Lunch in May was Patent Law. During the event in Palais an der Oper on Münchner Maximilianstraße, the guests enjoyed a surprise: the European Patent Office in the Haag was added live. For patent attorneys and their offices, regular trips to the European Patent Office in the Haag are part of the agenda. These trips are often just short hearings or calls to vote which demand an entire working day along with stressful traveling. Now the European Patent Office in the Haag offers attorneys the option to take part in certain appointments via video conference.

In addition, many local meeting rooms are equipped for professional video conferences. Data security and reliability of the systems are a must. If attorneys are able to provide video conference systems which meet these requirements, they, along with their colleagues, can save future excessive trips to the Haag.

During the Business Lunch in Palais an der Oper, Vistafon presented the technical possibilities of current video conference systems. The guests- mostly patent attorneys from Munich – were impressed by the user-friendliness and performance of the devices. A large number of personnel from the Patent Offices IT department was happy to have the chance to speak with Munich’s attorneys and to take this opportunity to introduce the videoconferencing facilities of the European Patent Office.
