IP law reform in Queen's Speech

Reform of the law on unjustified threats of infringement of intellectual property rights will be enacted in this Parliament, reports Mewburn Ellis LLP.

 

The previously proposed reform of the United Kingdom’s law on unjustified threats relating to IP rights, such as patents, was mentioned in the Queen’s Speech in Parliament this week (18 May 2016). 

This means that the proposed reform should become law in the coming year, making it easier for companies to settle intellectual property disputes out of court.
