Case Reports 
Mr. Elbro's decision in Wragg v Donnelly is important for two reasons.First, the Senior Hearing Officer heard the case in Manchester. Secondly, it is the first decision on the costs consequences of IP Office opinions under s.74A of the Patents Act 1977.
In Newzbin Mr. Justice Kitchin rowed back from the House of Lords' decision in Amstrad on authorization and gave the first judgment after argument on communication right.Mr. Justice Kitchin''s judgment in Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and Others v Newzbin [2010] EWHC 608 has bow been reported in the Fleet Streets and EMLR and discussed in many of the law blogs. As counsel for Newzbin I reflect on the technological and commercial as well as legal importance of the decision.
IP Litigation in Leeds
Leeds is one of 10 towns and cities in England and Wales with a Chancery District Registry. Consequently, you can issue a claim for the infringement of any intellectual property right except one relating to patents or registered designs. However, the Patents and Patents County Court will sit in Leeds for the convenience of the parties to save costs. More

Dear {FIRST_NAME}, I hope you have had a good holiday and that you looking forward to the new legal year as much as I am. Last year I was in two important cases:
Although those cases have greatly enhanced my prestige and that of NIPC I am aware that clients are far more interested in resolving disputes quickly and cheaply than making new law. I have therefore launched the following specialist low cost services: Finally I am speaking in two new courses which are arranged by our service company, NIPC Ltd: - the IP Foundation Course at Bradford, Portsmouth and Merseyside in September; and
- the Introduction to Patents, Copyrights, Trade Marks and Designs at Oxford in October.
With best wishes
Yours ever
Jane Lambert
Wouldn't You Like to do More IP Work?
If so, we can help you get it and do it.
We can help you get it because barristers are now a point of access to the legal services industry. When a client comes to us through public or direct access or one of our pro bono clinics or inventors' clubs we offer him or her the services that the Bar has always offered. If he or she needs work best done by a solicitor, we direct that client to a solicitor.
That usually leads to the question "Can you recommend a solicitor?" Such a question is not always easy to answer. The temptation is to recommend a solicitor we know and like, possibly because he or she instructs us, but is that always in the best interests of the client. Our solution is to keep a panel of solicitors whom we know to be good because we have seen their work.
The problem with that approach is that our panellist can't possibly do the full range of work that our clients need. Also, clients often expect more than one or two recommendations.
These courses should equip you to advise and assist confidently your existing clients and to reach out to new ones. But most importantly these courses are an opportunity for you get to know us and us to get to know you. More
