8 New Square

IP litigation forms the core pillar of the practice at 8 New Square, where the group routinely advises on patent, copyright and trade mark disputes, and stands out for being 'particularly strong on pharma and tech patent cases'. In a prominent highlight for the set, Lindsay Lane KC led a team of counsel for the claimants in Getty Images v Stability AI, a High Court case involving allegations of trade mark, copyright and database right infringements, and passing off. The case involves issues surrounding the use of an artificial intelligence model and the application of IP law to AI models. Among the junior end of chambers, the 'brilliant' Isabel Jamal regularly handles complex patent disputes, and James Whyte is well versed in advising on disputes in the pharmaceutical and biotech arenas.
