In this issue we examine a wide range of 'hot' IP topics including the copyright implications of hyperlinking and the shape of copyright in the digital market, the controversial question of second medical use and the tricky question of how competition law impacts on patent settlement agreements. A recurring theme is, of course, what the impact of Brexit will be: uncertainties remain, but at the same time both government and companies are planning for the future. We consider the emerging IP issues.
