Distracted by something strange in your neighbourhood last week? Forgot to read the IPKat with as much attention as usual? Don't worry, the IPKat team can always be relied upon to answer the call for a quick summary: here's the 115th edition of Never Too Late.

The English approach to obviousness - It all depends on the facts?
A lively discussion of the English approach to obviousness as applied in the Hospira v Genotech patent revocation application. Darren Smyth says "the insistence on the statutory question as the sole standard for assessing obviousness is welcome as a matter of law, but the multi-factorial and fact-dependent nature of the assessment must make it difficult to predict how an English court will judge the validity of a patent."

Thanks to Bristows patent litigator Vanessa Rieu for the story.
