Summary
Mr. Farr applied under section 37 of the Patents Act 1977 to be named proprietor/inventor of EP 1268313. The proprietors, Orbis, responded by requesting summary dismissal of Mr. Farr’s claim on the grounds that he had no reasonable chance of success and that the reference was made out of time under section 37(5) of the Act.
However, the evidence rounds have yet to be completed and the evidence to date satisfied the Hearing Officer that Mr. Farr did at least have a case to argue. Thus the Hearing Officer decided that it would be wrong to conclude that Mr. Farr had no reasonable chance of success. Orbis’ request for dismissal was thus refused.
