  • Sir Hugh Ian Lang Laddie (15 April 1946 - 28 November 2008) was a British High Court judge, lawyer, professor, and a specialist in intellectual property law. He was considered one the leading English judges and academics in the field of intellectual property law. He was co-author of the Modern Law of Copyright (1980). Laddie was educated at Aldenham School and St Catharine's College, Cambridge. He studied medicine but changed to law. He became a barrister in 1969. He is credited with having invented the Anton Piller order while still a junior. After 25 years at the IP bar, he was appointed as a High Court judge in April 1995, and joined the Chancery Division, mainly hearing cases in the Patents Court. He resigned from his post as a judge in 2005 "because he found it boring" and felt isolated on the bench. He became a consultant for Willoughby & Partners, an IP boutique and UK legal arm of Rouse & Co International, a move which was criticized by some. He is thought to be the first High Court judge to resign voluntarily in 35 years, and the first to subsequently join a firm of solicitors. No one since Sir Henry Fisher, in 1970, had resigned from the bench. He was appointed to a Chair in Intellectual Property Law at University College London, with effect from 1 September 2006. He founded there the Institute of Brand and Innovation Law. Hugh Laddie was born in 1946 in London. He married Stecia Zamet in 1970. He died of cancer on 28 November 2008.
