It's no secret that the U.K. is one of the hardest places to enforce IP rights in general and patent rights in particular. Their standards for patent validity are extremely high (they have been chastised for deviating too much from European Patent Office's interpretation of the European Patent Convention).

The court then responded as any judicial body that has been insulted would.
