When I think of Frank Sinatra's "My Way," I see a connection to the main ideas behind intellectual property law. "My Way" embodies personal expression and an individual's journey through life, which parallels the concept of the ideas-expressions dichotomy in copyright law. It echoes the principle that music, literature, or art can be copyrighted while allowing others to explore the same ideas without infringing upon that particular expression. Sinatra's anthem also celebrates uniqueness, which is reflected in the definitions of all of the varying types of intellectual property.

Citation Number [2013] EWCA Civ 1613
Judgment Date: 11 December 2013

Facts

This case was appealed from the order of ArnoldJ dated 25 January 2013 revoking a European patent relating to the synchronisation of multiple mobile devices, specifically status synchronisation as distinct from, for example, synchronisation of the content of a message, and dismissing the claim of the appellants Motorola for patent infringement. ArnoldJ held that the claims of the patent were invalid for lack of novelty over prior art or for obviousness over the common general knowledge of paging or prior art or, in some cases, for both lack of novelty and obviousness. He further held that, if contrary to his conclusions, the patent was valid, Microsoft had a defence by virtue of a licence agreement with Google Inc. Motorola appealed contending that the Judge was wrong in his interpretation of the patent, prior art and the Google licence. Motorola’s appeal was dismissed.
