The decision dealt with a number of preliminary issues in an action for revocation brought by Airscience Technology International Limited. In particular the decision concluded that the claimant’s case was sufficiently set out in its amended statement of case; that the claimant’s evidence in chief was admissible and that the question of whether the defendant’s proposed amendments to the claims of the patent was a matter that needed to be considered. The Hearing Officer did however strike out the claimant’s evidence in reply as it was not strictly in reply to the defendant’s evidence. The claimant was given a further period of time to refile evidence in reply.
