Summary

Withers & Rogers had previously applied for the revocation of Mr Dobson’s Patent on behalf of an anonymous client on the grounds that the invention lacked an inventive step. The Hearing Officer issued a decision in which the application was dismissed.

The patentee subsequently requested the issue of a certificate of contested validity under section 65(1). The Hearing Officer agreed to this request and made an order to the effect that the Patent had been unsuccessfully challenged in revocation proceedings before the Comptroller and was found to be valid.
