AS IF BY MAGIC...


Last Friday the IPKat had a little moan about the lack of IP decisions by female IP judges. Then, as if by magic, in today's Court of Appeal decision in IN Newman (blogged below) Lady Justice Arden delivered a partially dissenting judgment.

The IPKat says, about time too.

  1. No disrespect to Lady Justice Arden, who is certainly both a lady and a fine judge -- but I don't think she counts as an IP judge.

    Nor soon will our friend Sir Hugh, who is a Laddie but will not, alas ("a lass") be an IP judge much longer.

  2. One also cannot help but notice that Lady Justice Arden appears to dissent in her IP-related judgements: see this case and the Celltech/Medimmune case.

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.
