Brookes Batchellor fielded a team for last night’s CMS Christmas Quiz for patent and trademark attorneys near the world-famous Barbican Centre in Central London.
The team included Nigel Shindler, David Bailey, Tim Roberts, Mark Jolly, Iain Russell and Joanna Winwood who finished mid-table, but were top in the patents round and scored highly in the trade marks rounds, showing good knowledge of recent case law.
The quiz included music, movie and general knowledge questions, such as how many pints of Guinness are consumed worldwide per day; the answer being around 10 million. The patent and trade mark questions involved identifying brands based on their earlier logos and identifying obscure inventions (such as a pencil including a cigar cutter) from their drawings.
Iain Russell won a “spot prize” for being the first person at the quiz correctly to attribute the statement that “heavier than air flying machines are impossible” to Lord Kelvin.
So, if you want to talk about films, you should probably look elsewhere, but if you are looking for patent attorneys with a good knowledge of the law and the ability to spot inventions, Brookes Batchellor is the team for you.
