WTO talks hit the buffers

The BBC reports that G6 talks that were intended to unblock the Doha Round of the World Trade Organization's global trade talks have hit the buffers. Says the US, it's all the fault of the EU, India and Japan - i.e. much of the rest of the world.


Trunature scotches Scotnet

In Trunature Ltd v Scotnet (1974) Ltd, a preliminary hearing on issues of infringement, the Outer House of the Court of Session, Scotland, has ruled that Trunature's patent for an improvement in the manufacture of elasticated tubular netting covered Scotnet's Turbo 98 machine. Subject to any defence under the Patents Act 1977, section 64 (where the infringing act actually started before the patent's priority date), Trunature wins. The IPKat thinks the judge, Lord Glennie, handled both the technology and the evidence pretty neatly; he can see why people say nice things about litigating in Scotland.

    It appears that Scotnet are lodging an appeal. The writer thinks this is a very clear precise judgement this will be interesting.

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.
