Summary
In view of the fact that Clive Adrian Catlin, the named inventor, failed to comment on the application filed by Bruce Carmichael Robertson Ewan, and given the fact that the patent proprietors had filed consent, the comptroller considered the application to be unopposed. Consequently it was found that Bruce Carmichael Robertson Ewan should also be mentioned as an inventor in the granted patent. The comptroller also directed that an addendum slip mentioning him as a joint inventor be prepared for the granted patent for the invention.
