Summary
The claimant, Lancaster University Business Enterprises Limited, filed proceedings under section 12, seeking an order for international patent application number PCT/GB2007/002611 to proceed in their name rather than that of University of Lancaster. The reference itself was unopposed, as attested by declarations from all the relevant parties. The comptroller concluded that the application should proceed in the name of Lancaster University Business Enterprises Limited and should be treated as having been original filed by them. A declaration was issued to this effect.
