Red flag warning: Patent stakeholders beware shifting terminal disclaimer practice
The Federal Circuit made waves in the obviousness-type double patenting pool last summer with its decision in In re: Cellect, LLC.
United Kingdom | Publication | April 2023
The PPF has published its proposed changes to the assumptions used when valuing a scheme after employer insolvency. The valuations are used in determining whether the scheme enters the PPF or goes on to buy-out with an insurer.
The changes are intended to ensure the PPF’s valuation assumptions better reflect those used by insurers and include: adopting a yield curve approach to determining liabilities in some circumstances; increasing the discount rates for certain tranches of benefit; a new model for mortality projections; and amending the calculation of expenses.
The new assumptions will take effect from May 1, 2023.
