Welcome to the November 2008 edition of Shepherd and Wedderburn's Intellectual Property E-Bulletin.

In this edition of the E-Bulletin we highlight a case concerning a door latch developer which provides many lessons for anyone involved in contractual relationships and in particular how to avoid finding oneself without a means of escape; take a look at a lively debate about what choice of remedies should be open to successful IP claimants; and consider the principle underpinning the law of copyright and explain why it may not prevent the next generation of reality TV shows.

We also take the chance to brush up on our arithmetic as we calculate the value of a market opportunity deprived to a company on the basis of an invalid patent; and bring you news of a gallous attempt to win an appeal of a criminal conviction for trade mark infringement in a recent Court of Appeal case.
