Summary

A request to allow an application to be corrected by incorporating the contents of a 21-page abstract into the description was refused as it was not clear that the correction now being proposed was immediate evidence from the documents filed.

A further request to allow the abstract to be incorporated into the description by way of a rectification of an irregularity by the office was also refused.
