Welcome to the IP Think Tank podcast for Monday 9th February 2009. In this week’s call, regular panellists Jeremy Philips and Duncan Bucknell are joined by Peter Ollier to discuss:
• Solvay, Senator Kohl’s proposed US Bill and reverse payments in US pharmaceutical litigation;
• Open season on patents;
• The IPKat’s call for Vintage prior art;
• The impact on patent validity of the ever growing body of knowledge and our increasing ability to retrieve and aggregate it;
• Utility model patents, petty patents, innovation patents and protectionism; and
• Jeremy’s proposed new presidential character right.

We hope you enjoy this week’s podcast, and as always, we look forward to your comments and feedback.
