Summary
The patentee’s request to strike out the claimant’s application for a declaration of non-infringement for failure to meet the requirements of section 71 and/or that there were no reasonable grounds for bringing the application was declined. Even though the issue of non-infringement was focussed on one particular aspect of claim 1 of the patent, the hearing officer considered that a full technical description of this feature in the claimant’s product had been provided.
