Baker Hughes Incorporated v Halliburton Energy Services Inc (Patent): IPO 2 Jan 2001

IPO The registered proprietor sought to have a late-filed statutory declaration admitted in evidence in support of its applications for amendment and correction. In proceedings which had been running some time, the HO decided that the proprietor had not discharged the onus on it to demonstrate that the nature of the fresh evidence and the reasons why it had not been submitted in proper time justified the further delays its admission would cause. The statutory declaration in question was therefore not admitted.
