PATENTS
The High Court decision in Illumina v MGI is the first to take an in depth look at the thorny issue of sufficiency since last year’s Supreme Court decision in Regeneron v Kymab. Rose Hughes highlighted the case, including Mr Justice Birss’s tests for determining whether an insufficiency issue amounts either to undue burden or lack of enablement across the whole scope of a claim.

TRADE MARKS
It looks, swims and quacks like a quack, so does that make it a nostrum or patent medicine? Neil Wilkof looked at the descriptive language, including the terms “quack” and “nostrum”, that has been adopted in pandemics.
In a recent decision concerning the likelihood of confusion between the EU collective trade mark ‘HALLOUMI’ and the sign ‘BBQLOUMI’, the EU General Court held that there was no likelihood of confusion pursuant to Articles 8(1)(b) and 75. Nedim Malovic reported on the Court’s decision.
