Many of you have been messaging me about further Paper C study groups after my Paper C study group has been fully booked so quickly. So, I have organised another Paper C study group, the tutor will be Riccardo Bellingacci, a Munich based European patent attorney, who passed all 4 EQE main exams in 2021 for first try, with very good results, in WISEflow. His Paper C study groups were very successful and popular in the last 2 years!
His Paper C course includes:
3+1 online group meetings with Riccardo Bellingacci:
An introductory session to discuss the basics of Paper C and possible methodologies, including Riccardo’s Paper C methodology;
Doing and discussing 2 previous C exams (2012 and 2021) together, step by step, taking the time to make sure that everyone understands every legal issue;
A free AMA (Ask Me Anything) meeting with Riccardo a few weeks before the Paper C.
All meetings are online, so you can join from anywhere.
During the two longer meetings you will read, analyse and discuss all issues together, and you can ask the tutor anything, anytime. I showed Riccardo parts of my online Paper C methodology so that he can share different methodologies and tips during the course with you.
The end time is approximate. The length of the meeting will depend on how much time you need to discuss the exam. Riccardo’s goal is to explain everything well and answer all your questions, so if it takes 30 minutes longer to finish, he will stay longer.
Riccardo is both very smart and a lot of fun, so attending his study group will definitely make your Paper C preparation more enjoyable!
Correction of answers is not included in the fee.
Please kindly note that Zsofia will not join the Paper C study group of Rick.
About your tutor
I'm Riccardo and I've passed all four EQE papers at first try in 2021 with paper C being the best one with over 80 marks! Indeed both during the study period and in the exam, I enjoyed paper C the most - to the astonishment of many.
Paper C is like a fun detective game where you need to find the clues that lead you to the right combination of documents - get in the right mindset and it is more than doable.
My plan during the 3 days is to show you how I personally tackled the exams and in particular how to find the clues that may lead you to the right attack(s).
My wish for the 3 days is to take away a bit of that fear from the paper and demonstrate that it can be quite enjoyable!
Looking forward to meeting you all.

Feedbacks from last years
“I attended the study group with Riccardo. He is very patient and explains very well. He explained how the exam works, how to identify the documents, keywords and definitions, and how to write the answer and the attacks. It was very helpful and I fully recommend it.”
“Rick was very good at transmitting positivism and self-confidence, mental tips as well.”
“I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to enhance their skills and confidence in navigating a helpful methodology for the electronic Paper C.”
Federica Leone
“Paper C study group was completely adapted to the new e-EQE paper C (C1 and C2 parts). Moreover, the possibility to participate in the study group on weekends and online was very helpful. Moreover, the possibility to choose the study groups that match more with your personal calendar was advantageous.”
“It was really valuable to train papers C being guided by a tutor, providing his methodology and tips. Clearly increased my confidence in approaching Paper C.”
“In my opinion, Riccardo found the best mix between a rigorous and fun working environment. After the last lesson, I really felt that I knew what was expected for paper C.”
Adrien Marcone
“Riccardo was really motivated to support us and to answer all open questions.”
“I liked the practical tips of Rick – what to read/when, that is during what part of the Paper. I also liked going in depth through how to spot any negative teaching in the prior art guiding you towards what is the CPA, this is critical in Paper C. Also how to tackle the added subject matter and the prior art in which there are several embodiments was very good and remains an essential part of the Paper C.”
“Rick has a very good energy, the course was very dynamic so that the 6-7 hours didn't feel like too much effort.”
