Article summary

IP analysis: The High Court has handed down a consequential order in Sky v SkyKick. Mr Justice Arnold has granted permission to appeal on the issues of infringement, bad faith, and the resulting amendments to the trade marks’ specifications. There has also been another finding of infringement in relation to cloud backup services. Each party bears its own costs, and SkyKick is (subject to the appeal) injuncted from infringing the marks.
