CIPA Congress 6-7 October, London

One of the key difficulties facing businesses of any size in the current climate is keeping costs under control. And where intellectual property is concerned, those difficulties can be exacerbated all too easily by expensive litigation. But in the UK, the Patents County Court is proving an excellent attempt to address the problem. At the CIPA Congress, Judge Colin Birss will speak about the progress of the court, and how it is tackling the problem of over-costly litigation.
