This new edition is a comprehensive and practical guide to European patent law – a 'ius commune'. The book highlights the areas of consistency and difference between the most influential European patent law jurisdictions: the European Patent Office, England and Wales, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. The book also draws insights from further afield, with contributions from other, very active, patent jurisdictions, including Italy, Sweden, Denmark, and Switzerland. Uniquely, the book addresses European patent law by subject matter area, assessing the key national and EPO approaches together rather than nation by nation. Each chapter outlines the common ground between the national approaches and provides a guide for the possible application of European patent law in national courts and the UPC in the future. In addition to featuring content on new countries, the second edition includes new chapters dedicated to the substantive aspects of FRAND, declarations, and evidence. There is also an expanded commentary on construction, including common terms used in patent claims. A must-read for anyone working in the field of European patent law.

A Practitioner's Guide to the Unified Patent Court and Unitary Patent provides practical and detailed advice on all aspects of the system for those using it. The book explains how the UPC system works in the context of the wider European patent system, including the UK, and how parties can use it to enforce or revoke European patents and the Unitary Patent, in particular: - The procedures of the UPC from initiating proceedings to appeal, damages and costs hearings; - Rules on competence, substantive law, jurisdiction, language and judges; - The operation of the system alongside the national courts of the contracting countries, the European Patent Office opposition and appeal procedure, and parallel English Patents Court proceedings. The book is written for private practitioners and in-house counsel by a team of patent experts with many years of experience in patent litigation in France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. It provides insights from national approaches to the features above and gives answers to common problems.

There are many mysteries in the world we live in. Some we know will eventually be solved, and some so inexplicable we doubt there will ever be an answer. The latter are the most fascinating and often the subject of controversy and discussion. The Bermuda Triangle is one such mystery. Many books have been written on the subject and many more theories have been put forward by people from all walks of life. Then along comes the official explanation which gives the scientific explanation and debunks all the mystery, which leaves us back where we started. There is definitely a mystery. Ships, aircraft, large and small boats, not to mention numerous people do not disappear without a reason Same with UFOs Thousands of people have seen them, some have actually been on-board and a few have actually been abducted - so they say. The US Government has spent millions of dollars on debunking the reports by UFO aficionados and others, even professional pilots who have put their careers on the line to report corroborated sightings. Long before UFOs became a universal topic there was the incident at Tunguska. Nobody, not even scientists and Government officials can refute the evidence that a cataclysmic explosion occurred in a very remote area of Siberia in Russia, or more precisely Tunguska, in 1908. And just like the Bermuda Triangle there have been many "unofficial" theories as to what actually happened in June 1908. There have been many more mysteries but the three I have mentioned are the most endearing and well known. The most amazing thing about these mysteries is that there have been eye witnesses In the case of the Tunguska explosion, the eye witness was of the thing that caused it, not the actual explosion which killed every living thing within 20 Km. An eye witness in Afghanistan saw a very large object travelling in the direction of Siberia. Moving quite fast the object was seen to change direction The official explanation for the explosion was that it was caused by a meteor entering the Earth's atmosphere and exploding 7 Km above the surface. Oh really Meteors leave a large crater when they crash to Earth. There is no crater at Tunguska Meteors are not controlled and do not change direction in flight The Bermuda Triangle - so called, also has eye witnesses who have seen boats vaporised in a green fog. The area known as the Bermuda Triangle is just one of several locations around the world where strange disappearances occur, and it is no coincidence that the locations of these so called "devil's graveyards" are absolutely symmetrical. That is five in the northern hemisphere at 36 north latitude separated from each other by 72 intervals, and five in the southern hemisphere at 36 south latitude separated from each other by 72 intervals. The scientific view of this extremely interesting fact is that it is a result of the Earth's magnetism Magnetic vortices are set up at the above locations, causing catastrophic effects to ships and aircraft. The scientists are probably correct, but they do not mention that the magnetic vortices are not necessarily a natural phenomena To add more mystery to the already inexplicable, I believe that the mysteries I have mentioned are connected The book "Tunguska" explores the link between the Bermuda Triangle and other areas where strange disappearances occur, the phenomena generally known as UFOs and the explosion at Tunguska in 1908 in a fictional way "

Voyage of a Lifetime is the authentic account of a sea voyage from Southampton, England, to Fremantle in Western Australia, as told to the author by Don Caisley. The voyage was undertaken by a truck driver and his family, none of whom had any previous experience of sailing, navigation or the sea. The man, Donald Caisley, purchased an old North Sea trawler - more commonly known as an MFV or Motor Fishing vessel, and spent a full year renovating and fitting it out. During which time he sold his one man trucking business and his house and contents. Don, his Italian born wife Lena, eldest son Peter and young son Jonathan set out from Southampton on May 18th 1973, and arrived in Fremantle one year later - almost to the day, after more excitement and adventure than most people would experience in a lifetime. The voyage took them first to Falmouth, via Weymouth and Brixham, for a trial run of the crew and the trawler. From Falmouth to Oporto in Portugal they sailed, then to Gibraltar, Casablanca and the Canary Islands. Across the Atlantic Ocean to Trinidad, Grenada and on to La Guaira in Venezuela, then to Cartagena in Colombia, through the Panama Canal to Esmereldas in Equador. From Esmereldas to the Galapagos Islands, then to the South Sea islands of Marquesas, Tahiti and Raratonga and on to Auckland, New Zealand. The first Australian landfall was at Eden in New South Wales, then around the coast of Australia to Queenscliff, Portland, Albany and finally, their destination in Fremantle. Through fair weather and storms they sailed on - although many people with knowledge of the sea and sailing had said they were crazy and would never complete the voyage. The family's trust in Don never wavered, although disaster came very close to ending the venture on several occasions. After their arrival in Western Australia, the trawler was sold and the family settled down in Perth. Don is now an Australian citizen and although he swears he would never make such a voyage again, is glad he came to Australia the way he did.

Expert evidence frequently wins or loses cases. The importance of handling that evidence properly is therefore paramount. Fundamental to this is the application of privilege. Indeed, thorny privilege issues relating to expert documents, drafts, communications, instructions, collateral use, joint statements, statements of replaced experts, amongst other issues, come up time and again in practice. This book approaches 'expert privilege' as a subcategory of privilege of its own. This is not because it is defined by a uniform subset of rules that apply to all situations in which expert material is at issue, but precisely because it is not. Neither can assumptions about privilege in expert evidence be based on other areas of application. Instead, 'expert privilege' is a highly idiosyncratic and problematic area. None of the traditional privilege texts are dedicated to this important subject. A book dealing with 'expert privilege' as a subject area of its own is therefore highly overdue. This is the first such book. This book provides an overview of the issues, cases and rules that feature in this complex area, with the touchstone of practicality kept very much in mind throughout. The order in which issues are discussed follows the process by which expert evidence is prepared, from instruction through to collateral use. The intended readership is solicitors and counsel practicing in England and Wales in all the areas of civil, commercial litigation that use expert evidence. This book will also be of interest to practitioners in other common law countries and academics who are interested in English procedural law.

In September 2020 the UK signed its first major free trade deal as an independent country outside the EU, with Japan. This deal is viewed by the UK government as the first step in joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), a free trade agreement between Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. Further, Joe Biden's presidency is expected to result in the United States joining the partnership and, with the US and the UK, the CPTPP would be the largest free trade bloc by GDP in the world. Where there is close trade between countries regulated by a free trade agreement, there is also the need for rigorous intellectual property, in particular patent protection, especially in the pharmaceutical, biotech and telecoms sectors. Companies need to know: * that their technology will be protected; * the scope of that protection; and * how it can be enforced. In particular, this book will provide readers with a structured account of the relevant enforcement procedures and substantive patent law in each country, enabling a quick compare and contrast to be made between countries and the identification of relevant issues. In-depth country chapters featured include: US, Japan, South Korea, UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand. Patent Enforcement in the UK and Trans-Pacific Countries is an essential guide for private practitioners, in-house lawyers and other professionals with responsibility for intellectual property who are interested in the Trans-Pacific region.
