    I imagine more than a little of my frustration is rooted in me not agreeing. But, I think I would have still been frustrated if the SC had decided the other way, just less so. I think regardless I would have wanted:

    I guess they could have refused permission to appeal earlier[.]

    But, more than that, these nonces have been noncing for actual decades. How the fuck is “whether oat milk can be called milk” a question we’re thinking about for a second time?! “The purpose of a system is what it does” is being thrown around a lot recently, I’m not sure organically. But fuck me if the purpose of our system isn’t to protect monied interest and bind the rest of us.

      Yeah I can agree with a lot of that, honestly 2008 & so much since has made it pretty clear money’s the priority(specific people’s money). Well before that really with thatcher’s bloody privatising spree, selling off everything.

      I just don’t think the courts are to blame, parliament & government are to blame for that. And by extension the money lobbying all that, the people who say the problem is immigrants not money.

      a question we’re thinking about for a second time?!

      I’m unfortunately gonna make it worse for you here, its probably 4 times. The supreme court, court of appeals, the high court and the IPO itself. You can read more on the case here.

      Honestly brexit fucked up this since we’re duplicating work now, previously it’d be the EUIPO not the UKIPO doing this. I remember there being talk of creating a merged system even after bexit but no idea what became of that. They need to fix it up at some point, but either way the courts gonna be spending time doing things like this.
