SPEAKER:

 The Honourable Justice Andrew Greenwood

Justice Greenwood was appointed to the Federal Court on 4 August 2005 and is currently Presidential Member of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and Council Member of the National Alternative Dispute Resolution Advisory Council (NADRAC). Justice Greenwood is the Convenor of the Court’s Corporations, Fast Track and Patents Panels in Queensland and is a member of a number of national panels including Competition (Part IV) and Intellectual Property (Non Patent). At the time of his appointment he was a partner of Minter Ellison Lawyers heading an extensive practice in intellectual property litigation and was the Queensland Convenor of the Law Council’s Intellectual Property and Trade Practices Committees.

His Honour’s intellectual property decisions include Food Channel Network Pty Ltd v Television Food Network G.P. [2010] FCA 703; A V Jennings Ltd ACN 004 601 503 v Bogdan [2009] FCA 307 (an appeal from the Magistrates Court); Uniline Australia Ltd ACN 010 752 057 v SBriggs Pty Ltd ACN 007 415 518 [2009] FCA 222; Prosperity Group International Pty Ltd ACN 110 539 636 v Intellectual Properties Opportunities Pacific Pty Ltd ACN 130 769 578 [2009] FCA 403; and Norm Engineering v Digga Australia [2007] FCA 761. The High Court of Australia has upheld one of his Honour’s Full Court decisions (BHP Billiton Iron Ore Pty Ltd v National Competition Council [2008] HCA 45). 

His Honour will discuss a contemporary topic in intellectual property law including the intricacies of this area of law from the perspective of the bench - the boundary society chooses to draw between the measure of protection the law affords to authors, inventors and creators on the one hand, and those activities of others designed to foster the public interest through the use and development of ideas, works and the taking of inventive steps, on the other hand; and the relationship between the grant of rights under the various intellectual property statutes and the potential limitations upon the exercise of those rights by reason of a competition law regime.
