Summary
A request to delay publication of a patent application pending determination of entitlement to that application was refused as the Hearing Officer could find no legal basis in the Patents Act for making such an order. The request was made by the party seeking entitlement on the basis that the application contained material that was claimed to have been obtained through a breach of confidence.
