RT @tonythaxton: THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST TWEET EVER. “@Damientg: How to look like Batman, using your cat. http://t.co/zMbop6pOqb”

@OUPAcademic This took the longest time to appear in my timeline so I only saw it this morning. Splendid word, thank you!

I am ever so slightly disappointed that my #OxfordFortuneCookie was the dull word "bratwurst" but thanks to @OUPAcademic

RT @OUPAcademic: @EIP_Elements bratwurst: brat-, Old High German brato (meat); wurst (sausage); became familiar to English speakers early 2…

I want to play #OxfordFortuneCookie with @OUPAcademic 43 - I has been such a long time since we played

@S_J_Lancaster @profdaveevans And please could we have a short biog too? People might confuse you with another chemist of same name.

Very much enjoyed reading lighthearted #IPCopy on #Clause13 So much more powerful when you chuckle too http://t.co/6afdHgfjx9 @KeltieLLP

Floyd LJ just proved the IP Alchemist law - currently IMPOSSIBLE for gathering not to end up talking about unitary patent sooner or later

Judges getting it right is tribute to quality of presentation of cases to them and to quality of IP reporting in specialist journals.

@bengoldacre removing entitlement to state pension until they are older?

Black marks for IP - Earth Closet order could work injustice. Fresenius 2011 case said reaction should be one of bafflement.

Oakley case challenged application of s2 of European Communities Act to change national law ( in that case design law) - unsuccessfully

Answer to whether judicial review of EPO decisions available is not to be found in patent law (answer is 'no' btw)

Gerber Lectra springboard damages Floyd was leading counsel credits the idea to the judge

Conversely non-IP principles freely imported into IP law. Eg balance to be struck in protection of trade secrets vs rights of ex employees

Norwich Pharmacal - IP case defining law of disclosure / discovery applies generally; similarly Anton Piller for orders without notice

Now Floyd LJ discusses the unedifying story of privilege and Prudential case. Special pleading by lawyers methinks.SC left it to parliament

American Cyanamid interim injunction rules arose in patent case applies to civil procedure generally but not an IP rule as such

RT @filemot: L J Floyd advocating mixed background judicial panels. He claims to be an integrationist

Current diverse court structure allows IP to influence other areas of law. But has it exported its principles? Depends what mean by question

Can view the same thing as specialisation or balkanisation depending on whether consider specialism or integration to be preferable

Higher up UK court system less specialised judges so decisions by IP specialists have to withstand scrutiny by generalists. Opposite in USA

IP judge useful in CoA if IP has had positive influence on other areas of the law. Are we followers or are we leaders?

First Floyd LJ tells us about the process of becoming an appeal court judge. There is application form, questions, interview and everything
