BHB BEFORE COURT OF APPEAL

Amanda Maclachlan of Allen & Overy informs the IPKat that

The William Hill v British Horseracing Board case kick-started in the Court of Appeal today and is listed for today and tomorrow. The CA will be applying the findings from the ECJ decision on the interpretation of the Database Rights Directive. This is the first case under this relatively
new legislation to go all the way and will be of interest to all Member States
not just England and Wales. It will apply to all the listings sectors not
just horseracing.

The IPKat is rubbing his paws in anticipation.
