Summary
The application relates to a rotary toothbrush powered by a hand-operated lever. The hearing officer held that at the compliance date, the application as amended was not allowable because it disclosed matter which extended beyond the scope of the application as originally filed. The hearing officer however, indicated that further amendments could be filed to overcome the added matter issue and provided the applicant an opportunity to do so. In the event that the applicant fails to file such amendments by the end of the extended compliance period, the application will be refused under section 18(3) for failure to comply with section 76(2).
