IPEC An application under rule 10(2) of the Patent Rules 2007 was filed by Dr Peter Vincent Smallwood to mention Dr Peter Vincent Smallwood and Jonathan Hibbard as joint inventors. Robert Timothy Gros, the patent proprietor and Jonathan Hibbard were invited to file a counterstatement in relation to the proceedings. Robert Timothy Gros filed written consent in support of the application. No response was received from Jonathan Hibbard. As such, the comptroller considered the application to be unopposed and found that Dr Peter Vincent Smallwood and Jonathan Hibbard should be mentioned as joint inventors along with Robert Timothy Gros in the published patent application and granted patent for the invention and directed that an addendum slip mentioning Dr Peter Vincent Smallwood and Jonathan Hibbard as joint inventors be prepared for the published patent application and granted patent for the invention.
