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.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
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.

Life Sciences is one of the most innovative and complex areas of
law. It is currently undergoing a period of intense transformation,
with companies facing an ever-increasing level of regulation as
well as strict cost management in order to remain competitive and
profitable. The latest in "A User's Guide to..." series it covers
life sciences in relation to: - patents - copyright - trade marks;
and - data protection The book covers UK law with references to
significant EPO cases. A key part of the book is the coverage of
case law. Case studies and detailed analysis of the key cases, eg
the Kymab mouse case, the human genome sciences case, and the
pregabalin case feature heavily helping to put this often complex
area of law into context. Where appropriate and for comparison
purposes, approaches of key foreign jurisdictions are summarised
and for ease of use there are clearly signposted. A key text for
practitioners specialising in life sciences and intellectual
property in general and patents officers dealing with life sciences
applications.
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.
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 "

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.
