Yeah I can agree with a lot of that, honestly 2008 & so much since has made it pretty clear money’s the priority. Well before that really with thatcher’s bloody privatising spree, selling off everything.

I just don’t think the courts are to blame, parliament & government are to blame for that. And by extension the money lobbying all that, the people who say the problem is immigrants not money.

a question we’re thinking about for a second time?!

I’m unfortunately gonna make it worse for you here, its probably 4 times. The supreme court, court of appeals, the high court and the IPO itself. You can read more on the case here.

Honestly brexit fucked up this since we’re duplicating work now, previously it’d be the EUIPO not the UKIPO doing this. I remember there being talk of creating a merged system even after bexit but no idea what became of that. They need to fix it up at some point, but either way the courts gonna be spending time doing things like this.
