A tribute to Prof Bill Cornish, this published version is an adaptation of a paper I delivered in honour of Bill at the British Law Centre at the University of Warsaw in September 2022 - Temporal parts and free space: an anecdotal explanation of IP and the metaverse, or how I met Bill Cornish.

I have a lot of deadlines looming - so naturally all I want to do now is rearrange all the furniture in the study as a matter of urgency #IAmWriting #LawProf #LawProfs #IPLawProf #IPLawProfs

I just finished a lot of marking (the first lot of a lot more anyway ...). Here is Bulldog performing my current energy levels #LawProfs #LawProf #IPLawProf #IPLawProfs #CatsofMastodon #SleepingCat #BlackandWhiteCat #RescueCat

Happy 2023 to all. I wish neither to summarise my past year nor to set out plans for the new one. Instead, here is YY asleep in the study while I decide whether I need to rearrange all the furniture including my desk ... naturally. But LinkedIn obviously advises yes with a compelling listicle of health benefits. So the science is clearly on my side!
