Summary
Interim decision
The application was in the name of the defendant as both applicant and inventor. The claimants alleged under section 13(1) that he had been shown and had simply repeated modifications actually invented by S P Slack, acting for Extrusion Services Ltd, to a machine for inducing curl into synthetic fibres which Extrusion Services had sold to a German firm; and under section 12(1) that P T Slack had purchased the rights in the invention from Extrusion services. Although the defendant did not contest the proceedings, the hearing officer found that the claimants had not sufficiently established their case. The claimants were given a period of four weeks to file an amended or supplementary statement and/or evidence by way of clarification, and to clarify whether they were proceeding under section 13(3) as well as section 13(1) as regards the mention of the defendant.
