Pfizer patent number 2620450 (FOI)

Request

I would like a digital copy of the European (UK) Patent No 2620450 in the name of Pfizer Products Inc that was registered in Jersey through Lysaght by Annette Lovell. 

Response

Jersey operates a dependent registry which is operated by the Judicial Greffe so all Patents registered in Jersey have to have a prior registration in the UK. You can see the record of registration in Jersey on page 1135 via the following link:

As this is a UK registration you can use the IPO IPSUM service to access information in the following link:

Intellectual Property Office - Patent document and information service (Ipsum) (ipo.gov.uk) 

However, this was a European patent pre-Brexit. If you search for ‘EP2620450’ using the following link you will see the relevant UK record:

As the European (UK) Patent No 2620450 in the name of Pfizer Products Inc is accessible by other means, Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.
