Summary
The decision concerns a review of opinion 33/09. The opinion concluded that there was no infringement of the patent. The exclusive licensee requested that the opinion be set aside. The request was unopposed - no counterstatement was filed. One of the grounds for setting aside was not permitted by rule 98(5), but the Hearing Officer accepted that there were other, permissible grounds for a review. He accepted the requester’s argument that the opinion had not interpreted one part of the patent specification correctly. The opinion was set aside.
