| schestowitz | As far as I can see, there seems to be a recommendation for more exams! exams! for candidates. Suggesting for all to move towards PEB foundations examinations which has about 7 exams. Suggesting that candidates should also do FD2 and FD3 even though these are the same exams as their corresponding EQE papers A and B. | Oct 27 00:39 |
| schestowitz | Why the addition of more and more exams. Don't we already have enough in this profession? | Oct 27 00:39 |

| schestowitz | I have been quite dissapointed - this was the chance to radically shake up the patent examination system, where many of the exams particularly FD4 are not fit for modern day practice/purpose. | Oct 27 00:39 |

| schestowitz | The point raised by IPKAT on timescales is important. This review was started in 2018, it is now 2021. Candidates have gone through three exam years in this time. What timescales are on the PEB to respond to this review? To make changes? I suspect absolutely none and this will be ignored by PEB, much like the earlier Middlesex review. | Oct 27 00:39 |

| schestowitz | My view is that this report is pretty much pointless. There is no commitment for CIPA, IPREG or PEB to take on board any of the recommendations and if they do, I fear they will only cherry pick recommendations that they like. | Oct 27 00:39 |
| schestowitz | The recommendations are pretty weak as they are but it is a small step forward in reforming the professional exams. | Oct 27 00:39 |

| schestowitz | Good point - CIPA, PEB and IPREG can just cherry pick what they want from the review. That is a big worry. For example, they could make it compulsory for all trainees to do PEB foundations and FD2, FD3 exams but will do nothing to address the time pressure for candidates. | Oct 27 00:39 |

| schestowitz | I'm glad they've decided to do a webinar. Frankly, some of the recommendations really could do with explanation especially around getting rid of mark schemes. It's going to take some persuasion. | Oct 27 00:40 |

| schestowitz | The points in the review would not substantially change the examination system and in 5-10 years, we will probably be in uproar again. Many qualified and trainee attorneys do not like the current exam system. Put simply, a significant portion of the profession do not believe the exams, especially FD4, are fit for purpose. None of this has been addressed one bit by the review. | Oct 27 00:40 |

| schestowitz | I see no point of this review if it is "optional" to take on board the recommendations. It would be a complete waste of time for everyone who have contributed to the review in the last 3 years. | Oct 27 00:40 |

| schestowitz | Would someone be willing to take some of the valid queries on here and send to CIPA? Don't know what the best route forward would be but some of the concerns/queries on here is worth notifying to CIPA. | Oct 27 00:40 |

| schestowitz | Suppression of wages for experienced trainees and qualified European attorneys is also another area of concern which I hoped it would have been partly covered by the Mercer review as it is somewhat linked to the examination process. Even if you have qualified as both UK and European attorneys, UK wages for the average attorney have consistently lagged behind their European and US counterparts. I guess the Mercer review may not be the correct forum | Oct 27 00:40 |
| schestowitz | to address this issue but nevertheless, it should be highlighted. | Oct 27 00:40 |

| schestowitz | Back in mid-2020, the Shaping the New Normal survey was conducted and with a participation rate of 86% it allowed for a quite large amount of 5554 staff members to be heard. Among the topics addressed by the survey there was future teleworking (e.g. different schemes, locations and durations, the relationship between long-term teleworking and expatriation benefits and the impact of extended teleworking and flexibility on the performance of daily | Oct 27 14:39 |
| schestowitz | tasks), working at the Office’s different sites and the future use of its buildings and premises. The different schemes were covered by 5 different scenarios or personas. | Oct 27 14:40 |
| schestowitz | Oct 27 14:40 | |
| schestowitz | Now, over a year after Shaping the New Normal survey, it is important once again to launch a survey among staff to assess how the intended use of teleworking may have evolved after this one year pandemic period. This survey aims at assessing whether and how the proposed mid-term policy by the President would actually fit the wishes of staff. | Oct 27 14:40 |
| schestowitz | Oct 27 14:40 | |
| schestowitz | The survey contains solely 10 survey questions, chosen to mimic the questions asked in the Shaping the New Normal survey. The survey will be open for answers during 4 weeks. | Oct 27 14:40 |
| schestowitz | Oct 27 14:40 | |
| schestowitz | After the closure of this survey the results will be published to staff and the information used to argue and support the proposals within the working group. | Oct 27 14:40 |
