Headnote
Where the complete specification is amended before the grant of a patent, section 13(3) requires the amended specification to be examined and investigated in the same manner as the original. The claims had been cut from thirteen to eleven and then to six, and that procedure was never followed before the application was rejected.
Disposition
Allowed. Matter remitted to the authority for fresh consideration.
