EPO Patent Examiner Second Interview – What to Expect?

I passed the first interview for a Patent Examiner position and have been invited to the second interview.

Has anyone gone through this stage recently? What types of questions were asked? How much focus was there on technical discussions, patent-related topics, and language skills (German/French)?

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Berlin naturalization: Anyone successfully accelerated their case with Beschleunigung or Untätigkeitsklage?

I applied for German citizenship in Berlin and meet all the eligibility requirements. My application has been submitted, but I'm still waiting for a decision.

The reason I'm asking is that I currently have a significant job opportunity where German citizenship is a requirement, and I'm concerned about losing the opportunity because of processing delays.

Has anyone in Berlin successfully accelerated their naturalization case through:

  • a Beschleunigungsantrag (request for expedited processing), or
  • an Untätigkeitsklage?

If so, how long had you been waiting, what steps did you take, and did the urgency of a job opportunity help?

I'd really appreciate hearing about real experiences, especially from people who went through the process in Berlin.
