Medeva: it isn't over till it's over ...

The 4 July 2012 issue of the UK Intellectual Property Office's Patents Journal (No.6424) contains the following entry:

"MEDEVA BV

EP1666057

Method of manufacture of an acellular vaccine comprising bordetella pertussis antigens

Notice of Appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal dated 05 May 2012 [judgment delivered on 3 May, with comment on The SPC Blog on 4 May here] lodged with the Supreme Court on 31 May 2012 (UKSC 2012/0144)

Appeal - Lodged"

It is by no means certain that the Supreme Court will agree to hear the appeal.

Thanks, Daniel Wise (Carpmaels & Ransford), for letting us know.
