March was a particularly busy month for EQE exams, involving trainees from several year groups across all three patent teams. The final set of results from those exams was released this month.

We are delighted to report that all twenty J A Kemp candidates passed one or more of the various exams, including some sitting the final instances of the “old style” papers “A to D” and others sitting one or more of the EQE’s new “modular style” papers “F, M1 and M2”.

Five J A Kemp trainees have also now reached the major milestone of passing all their EQEs and therefore qualifying as European Patent Attorneys.

This includes three members of the biotechnology and life sciences practice; Lois Carhart, who is based in the Cambridge office, Sarah Gee of the London office and Holly Smith, who is based in the Oxford office.

Tatiana Foggitt and Iain McLauchlan work on patent matters across the chemistry and pharmaceuticals sector. Tatiana and Iain are based in the London office.
