Summary
Application under section 13(1) was filed by First Advantage Corporation to mention Mitch Duitz as a joint inventor. The current inventor Mark A Peterson gave consent to this application but the proprietor was unable to gain the consent of Mitch Duitz. Mr Duitz was therefore 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 Mitch Duitz should be mentioned as joint inventor in the published patent application for the invention. The comptroller also directed that an addendum slip be prepared mentioning Mitch Duitz as joint inventor for the published patent application for the invention.
