RT: Tomorrow morning begins @TheCIPA congress. My session is not until Friday pm so day and half of listening first http://t.co/9jCxxOulUl

And now we hear from @gwilip - always a pleasure. Is patent vendor a patent "pimp"? he asks. #CIPA13

RT @sandco_ip: Patent trolls less of a problem in UK than US primarily due to UK courts costs awards system - or are our billy goats more g…

#UPC has loser pays rule that should reduce troll behaviour #CIPA13 -But cost (=deterrent) will be lower esp. if system behaves as promised

Threat of injunction may disproportionately empower NPE who is shielded from retaliation - but injunction not automatic in US or UK #CIPA13

Nicola Dagg - new nomenclature - wicked troll or kindly godfather. And promises to answer will UPC increase troll-like behaviour? #CIPA13

And now a new creature - the "grasshopper" who refuses to take licence until compelled by litigation #CIPA13 - equally bad behaviour ?

We have the answer "troll is as troll does" #CIPA13 says George Whitten who posed the question.

Does the term "troll" have meaning other than "someone who sues me"? NPE session at #CIPA13

@JerryWalder @sandco_ip I am about to move on to my power pack ;-) #cipa13 #mobileproblems

@KatEllis37 @TheCIPA that is also a very good point. Invisible and irrecoverable. Great combination! #CIPA13

When trade secrets are stolen nothing is missing. Different from actual Crown Jewels. #CIPA13 interesting thought.

Is data file means relating to essential element for contributory patent infringement? I think so but have heard contrary view... #cipa13

Same defence of repair whether 3D printed or not - depends on facts @TheCIPA #CIPA13

@TheCIPA I see no slow down but anyway very happy listening and watching your tweets. You are good!

I was thinking of tweeting from #CIPA13 but @TheCIPA is doing such fantastic thorough job I will tweet only sparingly.

RT @TheCIPA: all quiet as we listen to Viscount Younger of Leckie set out just what is changing in the world of IP #CIPA13

RT @TheCIPA: And we are off, President Roger Burt opens the 2013 CIPA Congress #CIPA13

@patentology The biggest concentration of Vietnamese restaurants is in Kingsland Road in the Hoxton/Hackney area. I also love the food ;-)

Liking comment by @patentology on the @Ipkat report on the Pho battle in the UK http://t.co/pujtBqlBoh as I live close to Hoxton...

Delighted to hear "supererogate" on #universitychallenge and sorry to hear that it is now considered obsolete. I use the noun form often!

RT @davidkroll: Will Stevia Get A 'Breaking Bad' Bounce? @Forbes http://t.co/GhamDvvNLu

RT @Ipkat: Darren ponders who exactly might be eligible for appointment as a new super-duper European patent judge http://t.co/e6ZNOnzkKZ

@nathanbroon Also boiled sweets but these tend to carry a dosage warning. In Japan so does the chewing gum!

@nathanbroon Indeed. So tends to be used in low sweetness content high tooth contact things like chewing gum.

RT @abelimray: Who can be a UPC judge? Does a patent attorney qualify? IPKat. http://t.co/dNosW9DplP

@nathanbroon It basically is right - you don't use sorbitol to reduce energy intake but to reduce tooth decay.

Only one comment so far on the eligibility of patent attorneys to be Unified Patent Court judges http://t.co/2yQSHECDrQ Any more thoughts?

RT @eleonora_rosati: English autumn #Cambridge #KingsCollege http://t.co/LQyV8gIUgm

Any patent attorneys wanting to be judge of the Unitary Patent Court? Some possibilities... http://t.co/2yQSHECDrQ

@DrNSearle This tip works for everyone, not just economists!
