Summary

The claimant in an entitlement action sought disclosure of both the defendants’ licensing agreements and the patent prosecution file. The Hearing Officer refused the request for the licensing information on the grounds that this was not relevant to determining the central question of inventorship, and refused the request for the patent file on the grounds that it was not sufficiently particularised.
