01Legacy EQE pre-examination: European patent-law and claim-analysis foundations
The EQE pre-examination is a legacy examination whose last sitting was held in 2024. This page offers independent foundational practice associated with that historical label; it does not announce a future pre-examination or replace the reformed EQE. Current EPC/PCT concepts and claim-analysis exercises overlap with later professional study, but the old examination structure and modern qualification route are not interchangeable. A patent application, a granted patent and a particular national or unitary effect are different legal stages or arrangements.
