PATENT ATTORNEY: NO POWER TO REPRESENT AHEAD OF OGH (VFGH 9.10.2014, CG 95/2013)

January 9th, 2015

The restriction of the power to represent by patent lawyers ahead of OGH and OLG does not violate the principle of equality treatment. Further there is no disproportionate interference to the freedom of acquisition practice due to the restriction.
