Summary
This was an uncontested entitlement action, the registered proprietor of the patent application having been dissolved. The Hearing Officer accepted that, on the balance of probabilities, the matter in the patent application belonged to the claimant. As the application was refused nearly three years ago, the Hearing Officer could not make an order under section 8(2) as sought by the claimant, but he did make an order under section 8(3) allowing the claimant to make another application within 3 months.
