Summary

The Hearing Officer was asked to decide whether a late filed amendment should be accepted. The attorney had believed that an amendment had been filed on the application through the web filing service in July 2024. This failed, and amendment was filed late in January 2025. The attorney highlighted their working practices and provided evidence that he had prepared the amendment and believed it to have been filed. The Hearing officer was satisfied that there was an intention to file the amendment and remitted the case back to the Examiner.
