Case No. IP-2019-000196

28.Professor Tehrani characterised the skilled person as an electrical or mechanical engineer with an interest in automatic control systems for mechanical ventilators.29.Professor Rees suggested that one must consider a skilled team, the engineer being accompanied by a respiratory or critical care physician.30.It probably makes little difference since an engineer working in this field would regularly consult such a physician to ensure that they knew how mechanical ventilators could and would fit the requirements of the physician. To ensure that the physician’s knowledge is not forgotten, I think it is better to consider the matters in issue in this claim through the eyes of a skilled team as suggested by Professor Rees.
