Been away and want to catch up with last week's IP news? No problem! As always, the IPKat is here to bring you a quick summary -- the 150th edition of Never Too Late.
IPKat Eleonora Rosati timely summarizes the two copyright cases that have been referred to the CJEU by the German Federal Court of Justice, regarding some questions that go to the heart of copyright protection.
“Whether (and what) role “plausibility” should play in the statutory test for sufficiency, and whether a patent should be held insufficient for lack of plausibility even though it is in fact enabled across the full scope of the claim?”, Guest Kat Stephen Jones shares his insights on Warner-Lambert v. Actavis and Generics [2016] EWCA Civ 1006.
Guest Kat Mathilde Pavis reviews the French case regarding the word mark “Bébé Lilly”, which extended trade mark protection to the bond existing between an author and his/her work.
Kat friend Shawn Poon from One Legal LLC in Singapore reports on an interesting decision by the Court of Appeal in Singapore on consumer “indifference” to the mark used.
Our new Guest Kat Mathilde Pavis leads a tour of “Display At Your Own Risk”, and discusses the debates on “Copyright or IP surrogacy?”

“What is the future of the Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court following the Brexit referendum? When and how will the new system go live? What does industry make of it all?” Eibhlin Vardy brings the issues which were up for debate at AIPPI’s exclusive seminar on “The UP and UPC - institutions and industry panel debate”, hosted at Bird & Bird's offices in New Fetter Lane.
Later, the Part 2 of the report on AIPPI’s seminar covers “The UP and UPC - institutions and panel debate”.
InternKat Verónica Rodríguez Arguij puts her paws on Dr. Ingrid Kelly’s book Patents for Technology Transfer. The book “is a brief, yet practical guide addressed to Technology Transfer Offices managers working at universities and research institutes with little experience in patent law.”
InternKat Hayleigh Bosher brings her reports on Combat the Copycats, an event organized by the Intellectual Property Awareness Network (IPAN) and City, University of London as a fringe event to Clerkenwell Design Week. (A celebration of design and innovation in Clerkenwell involving 250 exhibitors, more than 90 showrooms, 10 installations and 7 exhibitions).

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.
