Summary
B failed to establish that he was jointly entitled with L to an invention made by L which B believed to be the subject of an international application. Neither B nor L were professionally assisted, and although L had filed a brief counter-statement his present whereabouts were unknown. The application was not identified, and nor was it clear what the invention was. Neither was it clear in the light of correspondence from a third party to B whether L still retained any rights in the invention. The hearing officer found that Bs statement and evidence went mainly to the right of B to receive a share of the proceeds of sale and to recoup his investment in the project, and could not support a claim under either section 8(1) or section 12(1). No order was made under either section and no costs were awarded.
