SOMETHING TO READ


The IPKat has been working his way through two recent issues of IP publications: the Bio-Science Law Review and Managing Intellectual Property.

Managing Intellectual Property. The September 2006 issue of MIP carries special focuses on Europe and Singapore. The Europe focus includes an interview with European Patent Office President Alain Pompidou (below, right) and asks why the International Trademark Association - which some say is still a throwback to its earlier existence as the United States Trademark Association - has opened an office in Brussels. The Singapre focus is less political, more legal in its content, as representatives of Nokia, Epson and Hewlett-Packard have their say on the state of IP protection there.

Bio-Science Law Review. Its numbering system is as enigmatic as usual (with 2007 beckoning, this is issue 1 of volume 8, 2005/2006), but publishers Lawtext have thrown up another agreeably interesting read. The issue opens with a challenging view of Cambridge University's invention ownership policy by solicitor/patent attorney Alasdair Poore (Mills & Reeve), and there's also quite a promising account of plant variety protection in Egypt by Bronwen Jones (a research student at the University of Newcastle on Tyne).

No comments:

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.
