The IPKat team is delighted to hear news of three freshly-gowned members of the IP bar, who have been elevated to Queen’s Counsel in the 2019 “silk round”. In alphabetical order:

 Mark Chacksfield (8 New Square), who represented Abbvie in defending FKB’s claim for an Arrow declaration

 Lindsay Lane (8 New Square), who appeared for Teva in several generics’ successful challenge to the validity of Gilead’s SPC protecting TRUVADA.

 Brian Nicholson (11 South Square), who appeared for American Science & Engineering in a successful infringement claim and validity defence against Rapiscan Systems.


Hearty congratulations to all three, particularly as part of a smaller round than in recent years. [Merpel notes that silk prices have been in declinefor the last six months, so the timing is fortuitous.]
