A highly-respected medical pioneer has been cleared at a tribunal following evidence he gave to a court hearing in a row over copyright.
A logo used by Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust infringed the rights of another company, the High Court ruled in 2018.
The mental health trust's system - Rapid Assessment and Interfaced Discharge service (RAID) – is designed to improve patient assessment and discharge for people experiencing mental health crises and trauma who attend hospitals, including A&Es.
Prof George Tadros, who joined the NHS trust’s RAID team in 2009, was alleged to have given misleading evidence to the High Court during a hearing, according to documents on the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service website.
The tribunal did not find any of the facts of the case proved.
