Summary

The applicant requested that the specification of the application be replaced in its entirety by the specification of the priority application and that this be treated as a correction under s.117(1) of the Act. After weighing up the arguments made by the attorney for the applicants, the Hearing Officer decided that the proposed correction was not allowable under s.117(1) since it was not immediately evident that nothing else could have been intended in the original specification. The application was remitted to the examiner for further processing.
