With typos corrected, I promise I was not drunk. This whole law suit issues is a complete joke. If the claimant was a serious party they would have gone to a branded IP specialist law firm. Instead they have gone to Giffin Law who are a small shop with no specialist IP expertise. If you really want to piss yourself laughing, here is the link to the google map site which shows their head office in West Malling in Kent. 60 Churchill Square - Google Maps . Their testimonials seem to be mainly form individuals that want to peruse police complaints. The no win no fee arrangements that are common in the US are illegal under English Law but it seems that Griffin seem to specalise in walking as close to that line as legally possible Our Fees - Griffin Law.

Here are the accounts for the firm application-pdf ... I have individual lawyer mates that do more business on their own. If they are serious about perusing this and going to trial someone is going to have to put their hand in their pockets for at least 30k to 40k. In the grand scheme of things it will cost the Uni of Birmingham nothing, delay, delay, delay and run up the opponents costs. The only chance was to try and create some leverage from filing the case, and using Invex to put some pressure on the Uni. The case was filled on the 18th May and no one cared, it was so ineffective that they had to put out a press release in June reminding the world that the case had been filled. Excelogen are a busted flush, unless they are prepared to put their hand in their pocket for tens of thousands or Griffin Law are prepared to do it on their behalf.

Someone on here wanted a guarantee that this will come to nothing, I am happy to give that, given the commercial potential here if you are not prepared to put out proper money for a top firm then you know yourself you have less than a snowballs chance in hell. The claimant themselves clearly sees this as not much more than a lottery ticket.
