Summary
Summary: The patentee requested a review of Opinion 17/16 on the grounds that the examiner had incorrectly construed one of the terms in the claim (ring-shaped) and went on to conclude wrongly that there would be no infringement.
The patent relates to a lighting collar for a beacon lighting unit such as typically seen at pedestrian road crossings. The Hearing Officer found that the examiner had not misconstrued the relevant term in the claim and did not reach a conclusion on infringement that was clearly wrong. The Opinion was not set aside.
