Summary
Winther Browne & Company Limited requested an opinion under section 74A of the Patents Act concerning the validity of patent number GB2402468 which is in the name of Valor Limited. The opinion indicated that claim 1 at least of the patent lacked novelty in the light of certain items of prior art. This review considered whether “the opinion wrongly concluded that the patent in suit was invalid, or was invalid to a limited extent”, found that it did not and made no order to set the opinion aside.
