Summary

The Office’s initial view of an application to make two minor corrections to the translation of a German language specification of a European patent (UK) was that the first proposed correction was not appropriate, but that the second one was. This initial view was explained in a letter to the proprietor, and several follow-up letters were sent. No response was received, and so the Hearing Officer took a decision on the papers - refusing the first proposed correction and allowing the second.
