Summary
Judging from the various activities the proprietor was engaged in and the range of problems he was effectively dealing with during the period the eighth year renewal fee could have been paid, the stress the applicant was experiencing was not such as to prevent him from acting in a reasonable manner. Moreover, the applicants preoccupation with other business and personal activities did not absolve him from taking reasonable care to see that the renewal fee was paid and could not excuse his deliberate inaction in dealing with the renewal reminders he received from his agent and the Patent Office. The Hearing Officer refused to allow the request for restoration.
