Summary

In a request for the Comptroller to consider whether she was minded to decline to deal with an inventorship and entitlement dispute, a number of reasons were put forward by the proprietor for the exercise of the Comptrollers discretion. Whilst no single one of the reasons was good enough in itself, the HO took account of the referrers agreement and the fact that if the Comptrollers discretion was not granted in the way requested, then the proprietor was likely to appeal, thus increasing both parties costs. The request was granted.
