Summary

Mr Bruno Franciscatto was one of three inventors who contributed to an invention that was the subject of this application - an RF patch antenna. His employer at the time of the invention, Drayson Technologies (Europe) Ltd., claimed that the invention, and the patent application relating to it, belonged to his employer by virtue of section 39(1)(a).

Neither Mr Franciscatto, nor any other interested party, filed a counter statement so the proceedings were uncontested. The Hearing Officer made an order transferring all rights in the inventions to the claimant.
