How the record is made.
Case pages are built from the judgment.
These pages summarise the findings of the courts in their own words. Each page is reviewed, referenced to the relevant doctrine and then published.
Doctrine pages are written by a practitioner.
These pages take one idea in the law of patents and set out the provisions, the cases and the context in one place. When the law changes, the pages get updated.
