Admission
" Accelerated Tuition " candidates must be holders of one of the diplomas specified in Art. R.421-1 of the Code of Intellectual Property concerning the registration on the list of persons qualified on industrial property matters.
The Office of the Administrative Council may admit candidates who do not hold one of the diplomas listed in the Order of September 23, 2004 on the strength of their admission file, where this is deemed to be the equivalent thereof, and provided the candidates supply evidence of adequate previous professional training in the field of industrial property, in France or abroad.
Most of the tuition is delivered in French. Students must have sufficient knowledge of English to enable them easily to understand the technical texts corresponding to their speciality.
Moreover, candidates must be able to prove they have acquired a year's experience in the field of industrial property by the closing date for reception of the application forms. Employers must fill out a certificate concerning the conditions in which the professional activity has been exercised. There are two certificates, the first for the " Trademarks/Industrial Designs " module, and the second for the " Patents " module.
Control of the professional experience
Students applying for admission to the " Accelerated Tuition " in Patents must undergo a professional experience test, which aims to verify whether the candidates have the minimum knowledge necessary to follow the training, taking into account their workload within the company and the "seniors" likely to supervise the candidate within the company or firm. The jury gives an opinion on admission. When the advice to postpone the training by one year is given, the members of the jury consider that the efforts to be made to obtain the diploma by the candidate will be too important. CEIPI then offers these candidates the opportunity to follow the long tuition.
The purpose of this test is not to select candidates but to ensure that they can, in the best possible conditions, pass the CEIPI exam in preparation for the European Qualifying Examination.
In general, the written control consists of the drafting of one or two claims protecting an invention described taking into account the known state of the art.
The professional experience test was held on September 01st, 2021 in Paris.
