@DominicSelwood Was enjoying reading your blog on de Molay, then realised we were at New College together. Good to encounter you again.

@KeltieLLP 2018 date seems to have underlying reasoning that was not reported - if we knew what it was, would have idea whether plausible

Oh and thanks to #IPCopy for capturing the 2018 start date estimate for #UPC @KeltieLLP http://t.co/tBeiqBcVB6

Care to guess when the Unified Patent Court will start? Official and unofficial estimate begin to converge http://t.co/tBeiqBcVB6

@bjh_ip I did not know you had a sideline in avian zoology.

@EmmaJuneMuncey Hello and welcome to Twitterdom.

@eLAWnora @JIPLP …says one of the authors ;) Would love to but no time for reading at the moment.

RT @EIP "Thanks for the follow, over 2,000 of you now..." Congratulations to the mother ship. I follow valiantly.

Thanks for the follow, over 2,000 of you now...

@tuftythecat @Ipkat I think that is why you are Tufty and I am just a softy. I seem to be the only surprised person (or feline)

RT @andrewlomas: Just caught up on this magnificent take down of @PeteWishart's amendment to the IP Bill by @EIP_Elements http://t.co/o0Xdk…

Surprised at the comments on Merpel's post on @Ipkat that so few sympathise with EPO employees http://t.co/TX3pddfGON

In case you missed it last night - EU Parliament approves, and in UK DEFRA consults, on Nagoya Regulation http://t.co/Rjzuv1gqvm

RT: This morning @LowCarbonSW - Geoff Hammond from @UniofBath on Low Carbon Transitions.

Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) may cause problems if it didn't work - no large scale working system but part of many plans.

Alan has given up on Government Green Deal [stop-start policies are harmful] - better results from commercial "deals" e.g. w/ telcos.

@TangibleIP_ @LowCarbonSW Interesting - will definitely pressure international agreements - altho there may be an emerging market asset flow

A few years ago UK research council provided funding for cross-uni groups - now different groups talk to each other.

Interesting options for social housing and care homes - but at the moment dependable on risky FiT.

Feed in Tariff for CHP actually went up last year - solar PV dropped.

At the moment cost is the biggest barrier - market is very nascent in UK. Hope is costs will drop cf. solar PV.

Germany, unsurprisingly, is leader in solid-oxide fuel cell / micro-CHP technologies.

65-70% of centralised power generation is lost as heat - for micro-CHP this can be used to heat water/home - increase efficiency to ~80%
