Summary
Professor Sharma claimed that he was the sole inventor of the invention in two patents which related to an ophthalmological instrument for performing a hydrodissection or a hydrodelineation. As such he should be named as applicant and inventor on the two applications rather than the currently named applicant and inventors. The reference was unopposed. Even though the two applications were withdrawn, the hearing officer, on the basis of the material before him, went on to make a determination in favour of Professor Sharma.
