UK-IPO Patent Litigation Survey

The UK Intellectual Property Office (UK-IPO) announced yesterday its patent litigation survey.
UK-IPO is seeking information from those using the litigation process as part of ongoing discussions on the European Patent Court.
One possible limitation of the questionnaire is that it is appears to be aimed only at those using the patent system as a patent-owner (patent-owners, corporations). As such, it does not appear to ask adequate questions of those using the litigation system on a more regular basis, such as patent professionals. It is not clear that ownership of patents necessarily correlates with litigation activity or experience, so the IPKat wonders whether the insight of practitioners would offer a valuable contribution to this discussion. Nevertheless, he urges contribution to the survey from all those interested. However, the ever contrary Merpel just doesn't like filling out forms.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
