Patent – Decline to deal, Entitlement – These proceedings relate to the issue of entitlement and in particular a reference under sections 12 and 37 of the Patents Act 1977 in respect of GB2459912 and WO2009/136150. The matter appeared to have been resolved by agreement following mediation. However, there still appeared to be a number of issues outstanding regarding the terms of the agreement. The hearing officer therefore concluded that the dispute now seemed to involve issues of a contractual nature which he felt would be more properly determined by the court and so declined to deal with the action.
