    COMPETITION CORNER Winner, Autumn 2005

    Jenkins appears to have caused a drop in productivity in the IP field around the world last October, as entries flooded in for our Cryptic Sweets Competition.

    Single or team entries were fielded from firms as far afield as Seattle, and from sources as varied as law firms, industry and even the U.S. Justice Department (!).

    We drew the winner, Robert C. Cumbow of Graham & Dunn PC, Seattle, out of a hat from 6 correct entries. Congratulations, Robert. You will be receiving a box of fine chocolates, compliments of Jenkins.

    Thanks to everyone who took part. The answers appear opposite. We hope that you will try your hands at our latest competition on the back page, the winner to be announced in the next issue.

    Good luck!
