Now in its nineteenth edition, Terrell on the Law of Patents has been the authority on UK patent law for over 135 years. It provides the most detailed and authoritative commentary on law, practice, and procedure – comprehensively covering every stage from application to infringement.

This third cumulative supplement brings you up to date with all the latest developments in UK patent law over the past year, with commentary on recent case decisions and legislative changes including:
- GW Pharma v Otsuka and Nokia v Oneplus on the latest developments concerning the court’s jurisdiction to hear standards-essential patent claims

It includes advice on the fundamental aspects of patent law as well as more specialist issues such as FRAND, SPCs and licenses.
