WHERE ARE THE PATENT CASES ON BAILII?


BAILII -- the British and Irish Legal Information Institute -- has a wonderful website. This site houses many thousands of full text transcripts of decided cases from England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as well as Privy Council cases. Where illustrations are referred to, such as diagrams in patent cases and logos in trade mark cases, BAILII usually supplies those too. But, roars the IPKat, there seems to be a bit of a problem with the patent cases. Only three cases have been added to the database for 2004. The patents page seems to be going into decline, since six cases were added in 2003, while ten were posted in 2002. Some patent cases end up as Chancery Division cases, which is no terrible thing if you consider that the Patents Court is part of the Chancery Division, but the IPKat is a tidy cat and he likes to see that everything's in its proper place.

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.
