Summary
The application under section 71(1) had been stayed to await the outcome of court proceedings on validity and infringement. Following a finding that the patent was invalid and not infringed and dismissal of an appeal by consent, the patent fell to be revoked. Only the issue of costs then remained outstanding in the section 71(1) proceedings, and the parties were directed to bear their own costs.
