- Chapter on Evidence - how one puts the case forward, representation of designs is important
- Arbitration/dispute resolution in chapter on Design Infringement
- Introduction of case summaries
- Brexit, eg what effect will European law/ECJ have after Brexit; existing EU Unregistered Design Right - no parallel under UK law so will this remain after Brexit or not
