Summary

The claimant, named as a co-inventor in the patent application, applied to be added as a co-proprietor. The current proprietor and the other co-inventors did not respond to an invitation to file a counter-statement, and were therefore taken to support the claimant’s case.

In the absence of any evidence that the claimant had assigned his right under section 7 to the application, it was held that the application should proceed jointly in his name and that of the current proprietor.
