Philips v Nintendo [2014] EWHC 1959 (Pat)
Brian acts for Nintendo in this multi-patent dispute about virtual reality, user interfaces and Nintendo’s Wii and Wii U game systems. Of particular interest is the Court’s consideration of the proper approach to skilled team: accepting Nintendo’s submissions that the skilled person was different for the patent in suit and the prior art. The Court’s judgment on the proper approach to the construction of “for” in computer apparatus claims is also of note.
