Yay! We are plotting
to do some annual CIPA awards! They will
be just like the BAFTAs, only possibly a tiny bit less glamorous, and there
will be a special awards ceremony at the Congress dinner to stop people falling
asleep over their profiteroles. I
imagine we will have trophies and things too, although if the Presidential
swimming-gala medal and the CIPA tie pin are anything to go by, I am not going
to get too excited about that.
What I am, however, excited about is the idea of giving
someone an award for being a Good Sort in the IP world. What will the categories be? Most accurately-punctuated document? Longest main claim? Rudest response to an examination report? Rudest response to a trainee? Or perhaps: most amount of money (this is the way Lord Sugar talks so it must be alright) in a
client account, or most alternative Alternative Business Structure.
Obviously there will be a President’s Award. This year it will be for the best cakes and
biscuits. Institute members are invited
to send their submissions to CIPA whenever they wish; judging will take place
throughout the Presidential year.
