Let’s have a look at what the Kats were up to last week…

PATENTS

A very busy kat…


The High Court decision in Illumina v MGI hit the IP headlines for its application of the Supreme Court decision in Regeneron v Kymab. Rose Hughes brought part 2 of Illumina v MGI, “Has the UK lost its way on the doctrine of equivalents?”, to you.

 

IPKat friends, Professor Peter Georg Picht, and  PhD student Erik Habich, from the university of Zurich, share with us further insights on the German FRAND approach here.

 

BOOK REVIEW

Anastasiia Kyrylenko has once again had the pleasure to review a volume in the series on intellectual property law, edited by Prof. Jacques de Werra at the Law School of the University of Geneva. The particular volume to be reviewed, titled “Intellectual Property in the Era of Big Data and Blockchain”, discusses how these emerging technologies shape intellectual property law.

 

COPYRIGHT

The UK High Court has granted, for the first time, website blocking orders targeting cyberlocker and streamripping sites/app and also considers that CJEU won’t follow the AG Opinion in the YouTube/Cyandodecision. Eleonora Rosati reported on the blocking orders.

 

OTHER IP TOPICS: ASSIGNMENT

Trademark assignments and the transfer of the goodwill seem, well, oh-so dull, until they are not. Kat friend Ian Gill reports on a recent cautionary tale from the UK here.
