Patent

 When Shakespeare wrote "something is rotten in the state of Denmark," he might have very well been describing the Danish court system in 2019. The number of IP lawsuits filed before the Danish district courts has been reduced by half since 2010, and GuestKat Alex Woolger lets us know if we can expect Fortinbras to ride in any time soon.

The updated EPO examination guidelines are here, and GuestKat Rose Hughes analyzed some of the highlights.

GuestKat Alex Woolgar updates us on Lord Justice Arnold's unsurprising decision on Glaxo Wellcome UK Limited and Anor v Sandoz Limited and Ors [2019] EWHC 2545, a.k.a. the "Purple Inhaler Wars".

Copyright 

Kat friend Fredy Sánchez Merino brought us a report on the Colombian Constitutional Court, which has issued a ruling (C-345-19) that recognizes the constitutionality of statutory damages for copyright infringement, included as part of the latest amendments to the national copyright law.

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.
