MIPLC mourns Lord Justice Pumfrey

Nicholas Pumfrey has been called to the bar in 1975, and took silk in 1990. He served as Junior Counsel to her Majesty's Treasury (Patents) from 1987 to 1990, and was called to the High Court of Justice in 1997 at the mere age of 46. On November 4, 2007, he was appointed a Lord Justice of Appeal upon the retirement of Lord Justice Chadwick.

Upon its foundation in 2003, Justice Pumfrey joined the MIPLC faculty and has been an active member of its IP community, teaching European Patent Law in the LL.M. program.

The MIPLC offers its sincere condolences to Lord Justice Pumfrey's relatives.
