  • The Patents Act 1977 (As Amended)
    The Patents Act 1977 (as amended) An unofficial consolidation produced by Patents Legal Section 1 October 2013 Intellectual Property Office is an operating name of the Patent Office Note to users This is an unofficial consolidation of the Patents Act 1977, as amended up to and including 1 October 2013. This consolidation therefore includes (amongst other changes) the amendments to the 1977 Act made by: the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 the Patents and Trade Marks (World Trade Organisation) Regulations 1999 the Patents Regulations 2000 the Enterprise Act 2002 the Regulatory Reform (Patents) Order 2004 the Patents Act 2004, the Medicines (Marketing Authorisations etc.) Amendment Regulations 2005 the Intellectual Property (Enforcement, etc.) Regulations 2006 the Patents (Compulsory Licensing and Supplementary Protection Certificates) Regulations 2007 the Legal Services Act 2007 the Patents Act 1977 (Amendment) Regulations 2011, and the Crime and Courts Act 2013 In some cases, the amending legislation applies transitional provisions to the changes made to the 1977 Act. It is particularly important to be aware of these transitional provisions in the case of the changes made by the Regulatory Reform (Patents) Order 2004 and by certain provisions of the Patents Act 2004. A number of the repealed provisions of the 1977 Act have been re-enacted or replaced by new provisions of that Act or by provisions in other legislation. Some wording of the 1977 Act has been ‘modified in effect’ by other pieces of legislation, although not actually amended, and footnotes show where this is the case. The Manual of Patent Practice should be consulted for more guidance on all these matters.

  • Patents Act 2004 (C.16) Which Received Royal Assent on 22Nd July 2004
    These notes refer to the Patents Act 2004 (c.16) which received Royal Assent on 22nd July 2004 PATENTS ACT 2004 —————————— EXPLANATORY NOTES INTRODUCTION 1. These explanatory notes relate to the Patents Act 2004 which received Royal Assent on 22nd July 2004. They have been prepared by the Department of Trade and Industry in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament. 2. The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given. SUMMARY 3. This Act amends the Patents Act 1977 (“the 1977 Act”), which is the statute governing the patents system in the UK. The purpose of the Act is three-fold. Firstly, it is intended to bring the UK patents system into line with the revised European Patent Convention which was agreed by Diplomatic Conference in November 2000. Secondly, it introduces into the 1977 Act some measures designed to assist in the enforcement of patent rights and in the resolution of patent disputes between patent proprietors and third parties. Thirdly, it updates the 1977 Act. BACKGROUND The European Patent Convention 4. The 1977 Act reformed the law of patents in the UK. One of its main purposes was to bring into effect in the UK the European Patent Convention (“EPC”), which was a new European-wide patents treaty agreed in 1973.

  • Gls Statutory Instrument Drafting Guidance
    0) GLS STATUTORY INSTRUMENT DRAFTING GUIDANCE August 2018 1 GLS STATUTORY INSTRUMENT DRAFTING GUIDANCE PREFACE This is general guidance for GLS lawyers on the drafting of statutory instruments which draws upon a number of Departmental guides on the subject. The Guidance contains advice on good drafting practice. Drafters will also want to refer to the current edition of Statutory Instrument Practice (“SIP”) which is a detailed guide to the process of producing SIs and, where appropriate, this Guidance cross-refers to SIP. The Guidance is maintained by the Government Legal Department’s SI Hub, and updates will be placed on the Legal Information Online Network (LION) Secondary legislation site from time to time. The SI Hub is a team of GLD lawyers who specialise in drafting statutory instruments. For further information about the role of the SI Hub see “A guide to working with the SI Hub for GLD lawyers”, available on the Secondary legislation site on LION. This (August 2018) reissue of the Guidance has not been comprehensively updated to reflect all changes that have occurred since the previous edition of December 2016. The 2016 edition contained extensive cross-references to SIP, and substantive material based on the contents of SIP, that have become inaccurate since the publication of the 5th edition of SIP in November 2017. This reissue has updated all references to SIP, and has tried to avoid unhelpful duplication of detailed material covered in SIP (and some other sources). While the opportunity has also been taken to update some other aspects of the Guidance, the SI Hub will undertake a comprehensive revision of the Guidance in due course.

  • Executive Summary the British Economy's Openness to Investment
    Executive Summary The British economy’s openness to investment has been a long established fact, with many of the world’s largest firms having UK branch plants and manufacturing subsidiaries. The UK imposes few impediments to foreign ownership and throughout the past decade, the UK has remained Europe’s top recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI), including the destination of choice for U.S. investors. The UK was the world's ninth largest recipient of foreign direct investment in 2013 and attracted 18 percent of all European Union (EU) FDI inflows, the highest percentage for a single EU country. The United States remains the primary source of FDI into the UK and remains the most favored location for UK direct investment abroad, continuing the strong investment partnership between the two countries. The United Kingdom is politically stable with a modern infrastructure, and U.S. companies have found establishing a base in the UK an effective means of accessing the European Single Market, and the abolition of most intra-European trade barriers enables UK-based firms to operate with relative freedom throughout the EU. Many U.S. companies have operations in the UK, including all top 100 of Fortune 500 firms. The UK hosts more than half of the European, Middle Eastern and African corporate headquarters of American-owned firms. The UK Government has sought to further increase the UK’s attractiveness through taxation, trade missions, and support for small and medium enterprises. Recent studies show that the UK is also making improvements in terms of financial flexibility, policy regime for start-ups, and entrepreneurial culture.

  • Patents Hearing Manual
    Patents hearing manual Intellectual Property Office is an operating name of the Patent Office Hearings manual Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Basic legal principles Chapter 2 Inter partes procedures Chapter 3 Evidence Chapter 4 Inter partes hearings Chapter 5 Inter partes decisions Chapter 6 Ex parte hearings Chapter 7 Appeals Chapter 8 Miscellaneous Table of cases Index Introduction Scope and authority of this manual 0.01 This Manual is intended to provide guidance as to the law and procedure concerning patent and design right hearings held in the Patents Directorate (PD) on behalf of the comptroller. It does not provide guidance on matters of substantive patent and design right law. For patents, this is available in the Manual of Patent Practice (MoPP) but there is as yet no corresponding manual covering design right. 0.02 The Directorate's Litigation Section plays an important support role in hearings, but their procedures are covered by a separate Litigation Manual and are only mentioned in this Manual so far as is necessary for completeness. 0.03 This Manual embraces both inter partes and ex parte proceedings. The latter are usually more straightforward and give rise to fewer procedural problems, and because of this the emphasis in Chapters 1 to 5 is very much on the former. For convenience, Chapters 1 to 5 are written primarily in terms of proceedings involving two parties, but of course the same principles apply if more than two parties are involved. 0.04 Much of the guidance in these chapters is nevertheless relevant to ex parte proceedings. Chapter 6 on these does not purport to be a self- contained guide: instead it highlights the differences between ex parte and inter partes proceedings and matters of particular relevance to the former.

  • Modern Intellectual Property Law
    Modern Intellectual Property Law Modern Intellectual Property Law combines coverage of each intellectual property right granted for creations of the mind into a thoughtful, unified textbook. Decon- structing the fundamental topics into short, clear sections separated by subheadings throughout, Colston and Galloway’s text is the ideal student companion to this intriguing area of the law. This new edition has been completely revised to bring it up to date with the latest debate and changes to the law. All significant recent developments are covered including the continuing controversy over patents for computer- implemented inventions and biotechnological inventions, the House of Lords’ developments of patent law, the ECJ jurisprudence relating to trade mark dilution and comparative advertising, as well as the database right, and international efforts to reconcile copyright with peer-to-peer file sharing. This text also discusses the ongoing effort to achieve an appropriate balance between intellectual property and competition law in order to protect market competition while retaining key incentives to drive the process of innovation. Written for students, this accessible and comprehensive textbook provides the perfect starting point for anyone studying intellectual property law in the UK. Catherine Colston is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Strathclyde. She teaches postgraduate and undergraduate classes in Issues in Intellectual Property (Hons) and Intellectual Property and her research spans both Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law. Jonathan Galloway is a Lecturer in Law at Newcastle University and an Attorney at law in New York. His teaching and research focuses primarily on UK and EU Com- petition Law.
