Subsea Intervention Ltd v The Comptroller General of Patents: ChD 19 Nov 2015

The company appealed from refusal of re-instatement of its patent which had expired through non-payment of renewal fees. On payment of the fees, the Patent Office objected that the applicant was not the registered proprietor.
Held: The relevant power under section 28(4) was no longer available to the Comptroller. By that stage, the only remaining route available to the Appellant was an appeal.
