Headnote
The hearing notice relied on three cited documents and the order relied on only one of them, with no reasons given for how even that one applied to the claimed invention. The Patent Office being a quasi-judicial authority must adhere to the principles of natural justice and give proper reasons for refusing a patent. Set aside as a non-speaking order passed by total non-application of mind.
Disposition
Set aside and remanded for fresh consideration.
