His efforts have even been recognised in the US with the workings of his court being looked at by a US system in which patent litigation is ridiculously expensive (http://www.patentlyo.com/patent/2012/12/moving-forward-with-a-small-claims-patent-court.html)<br /><br />In addition (apologies for going slightly off message) the anonymous comment on the typo reminds about the time when a senior attorney in my last firm, after receiving a complaint about a bill, instructed me to make it look as if I was not spending too much time on the client's work. Probably for liability reasons he did not clarify how to do that, but I wondered whether I needed to introduce typos to comply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-88956991968247651892013-02-05T19:31:13.816+00:002013-02-05T19:31:13.816+00:00"The Patent Mezzzanine"

In November 2011, the IPO <a href="http://www.ipo.gov.uk/types/hargreaves.htm" rel="nofollow">stated</a>:<br /><br /><i>In its response to Hargreaves the Government committed to consider renaming the Patents County Court to the Intellectual Property County Court by Autumn 2011. We have been considering the issues and require further evidence to establish the case for change. We continue to look for a low-cost way to change its name, which will enable businesses to readily identify which court resolves intellectual property cases.</i>Peter Smithnoreply@blogger.com
