Please note that the Patents County Court, (out of which the Judgments of the prolific Justice Birss emerge), is now called ‘the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court’. A significant ‘brand’change? The Court certainly addresses other infringements than just patent monopolies – including copyright, database rights infringement, trade mark and breaches of confidence to name a few. The ‘Intellectual Property Enterprise Court’ captures the wider miscellany of intellectual property rights.
