Summary

A decision on costs in revocation proceedings which found the patent invalid. The case was relatively straightforward and some of the material relied upon in the pleadings had been submitted in a previous Opinion request. Defendant requested a discount from standard scale based on this and also the large number of documents relied upon. Also, the hearing required only half a day instead of two. The hearing officer decided upon an award of costs at the very bottom of the standard scale.
