Summary
In unopposed references under sections 12 and 37, the claimants argued that an earlier, unregistered assignment from the inventor to the claimants took precedence over a later, registered assignment from the inventor to the defendants.
Held, in respect of the section 37 reference, that under section 33 the claimants were entitled to the EP patent by virtue of the earlier assignment. The hearing officer directed that the earlier assignment be registered.
