PATENTS: In the Bilski case, the US Supreme Court rejects Bilski's business patent method and holds that the 'machine or transformation' test - which had been used to determine patentability is not the only test available. 
FIXTURE LISTS - UK: In the Football Dataco case, a UK judge finds that there was considerable judgement and work in selecting and arranging the contents of the lists in a database. The judgement and discretion involved were sufficient to be given copyright protection. 
FIXTURE LISTS - AUSTRALIA: The High Court of Australia holds that to claim protection as a database under Australian copyright law, fixture lists should satisfy the ‘originality’ criterion and not merely the ‘skill and judgement’ test. 
DEFAMATION: In Kaschke v Gray & Hilton, the UK High Court denies summary judgment to the controller of a website - on which alleged defamatory material was posted - on the basis that his control over the website involved more than just the mere storage of information.

NETWORK PRACTICES: In the Comcast case, a US Court of Appeals holds that the Federal Communications Commission has no regulatory authority over Comcast's network practices as it had not linked this authority to any express statutory authority. 
BREAKING NEWS: In Barclays Capital Inc. v Theflyonthewall.com, a US federal district court rules that a news company must refrain from re-publishing online investment news produced by another company before a certain time has elapsed, as the news is protected by copyright. 
MESSAGING: In the Quon case, the US Supreme Court permits a government employer to search employee pager communications, because the search was 'not excessively intrusive'. 
COPYRIGHT: In SGAE v Padawan S.L., an Advocate General for the European Court of Justice concludes that a levy on private copies may be imposed only where it may be presumed that they were used for private copying. 
KEYWORDS: In the Portakabin case, the Court of Justice of the European Union finds that the owner of a trade mark can prevent it being used as a keyword in third parties' online advertisements.
