The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has announced a new
law, which came into force on 14 June, which gives small and medium sized
businesses easier access to justice to protect their patent and design rights.
This law places a damages cap of £500, 000 on claims made in the Patents County
Court. This change means that small companies claiming damages up to this
amount are less likely to face a potentially more expensive trip to the high
court. Previously legal cases worth less than £500, 000 could have unknown
levels of financial risk.
