Summary
Application under section 13(1) was filed by Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. to mention Peter Besselink as a joint inventor. L McDonald Schetky, Craig D Johnson and Barrie Hart were invited to file a counter-statement in relation to the proceedings but failed to do so. As such, the comptroller considered the application to be unopposed and found that Peter Besselink should be mentioned as a joint inventor in the published patent application and granted patent for GB2371066 and also in the granted patent for EP(UK)1223305. The comptroller also directed that an addendum slip be prepared mentioning Peter Besselink as a joint inventor for the published patent application and granted patents for the inventions.
