Summary
Following refusal of a request to amend under section 75 (originally made under section 27), Contra Vision filed a revised proposal. The hearing officer refused this proposal on various grounds (including lack of novelty and added subject matter), and set out a schedule of strictly limited amendments, including the deletion of certain claims, which if made would render the proposal acceptable. A period of two months was given to Contra Vision to submit a further proposal.
Taking account of the result of this hearing and of previous hearings on the matter, no order as to costs was made.
