Agree on the first point. Disagree on the second. The system is deliberately designed to allow amicable settlement if possible.

TBC I'm not claiming the party written about behaved well. Also it seems there was an error by the IPO in granting the original trade mark. Examination standards have ime gone downhill in the last few years. But ultimately the right outcome was reached.

It sounds as if it didn't get that far, but settled first*. The IP system rightly gives time for parties to settle before a court case.

In all of the examples given in the article it sounds like the IP system ultimately worked properly.
