Summary
In an earlier action for inventorship and entitlement ([2000] UKIntelP o18200) in respect of an unpublished, terminated GB application, joint inventorship and joint entitlement was established. However, none of the specific remedies requested by the referrer were available to him having regard to the status of the GB application. The Hearing Officer, however, made findings of fact as to the position and indicated that these could be used by the referrer to support a reference against the PCT application (WO 9832018) based on the priority of the GB application. Such reference was duly filed, but the receivers for the proprietors (who were a company in liquidation) indicated that they did not wish to contest and a settlement document was drawn up.
