1 March 2012

Henry Ward, representing KCI Licensing Inc, successfully applied for summary judgment on an issue in an enquiry for damages. The Respondent, having already admitted in the defence that the applicant was the registered proprietor of the patent in question, claimed that the applicant was not the patent owner. It was held that the applicant was the proprietor of the patent and that it was too late for the Defendants to challenge such rights.
