In January 2019, Gowling WLG's co-head of global Intellectual Property (IP), Gordon Harris, delivered his much anticipated annual review of the year's UK patent.

Gordon commented that there was no lodestar this year, with the Supreme Court decision in Warner Lambert having fallen short of expectations, but that there were many interesting decisions across a wide range of patent topics.
