Tower Blocks UK: Bracknell Forest Easthampstead Neighbourhood Centre, s3-06.jpg
No full textMulti-storey block details: one 19-storey block containing 102 dwellings; Multi-storey block name(s): Point Royal; Image detail: View of Point Royal Original Commissioning Authority: Bracknell New Town Development Corporation; Image taken: 1984;Context: Tower Block UK is a project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, bringing together public engagement and an openly-licensed image archive in an attempt to emphasise the social and architectural importance of tower blocks, and to frame multi-storey social housing as a coherent and accessible nationwide heritage. The Tower Block UK image archive is a searchable database of around 4,000 images of every multi-storey social housing development built in the UK. The photographs were largely taken in the 1980s by Miles Glendinning and are made available here for public use. As many of the blocks documented and photographed have since been demolished, the archive functions in part as a repository of information on an important aspect of UK heritage that is now vanishing. The archive itself catalogues multi-storey blocks as part of the developments within which they were initially commissioned and built. It gives details of notable dates, such as when local authorities approved the developments and when construction began or finished. Alongside this, the archive provides information on the local authorities, architects, and other agents involved in the processes of commissioning, designing, and constructing mass social housing. While the most historically 'accurate' identification labels in the database are the original overall development or project names, the archive also contains details of the individual blocks built

Re-engaging with concerns over latent design invalidity: examination and invalidation of registered Community designs at the EUIPO (Edward Elgar Research Handbook chapter)
No full textThis dataset accompanies the chapter: J Cornwell, 'Re-engaging with concerns over latent design invalidity: examination and invalidation of registered Community designs at the EUIPO' in E Derclaye (ed) Research Handbook on Empirical Studies in Intellectual Property Law (Edward Elgar, 2023).
The dataset covers a sample of EUIPO Invalidity Division decisions published in English in which the contested RCD was invalidated over the 10-year period from 2011-2020. Data includes: the ground of invalidity upon which the contested RCD was invalidated; for all invalidations based on lack of novelty or individual character, whether the invalidating prior art relied upon by the Invalidity Division included some kind of IP filing; and for each such IP filing, data on its type (e.g. whether an earlier design, trade mark, patent or utility model), jurisdiction, and whether its classification matched or was equivalent to the Locarno classification of the contested RCD
