Date of judgment
Judge
Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy
Outcome
Remanded

Headnote

Amended claims were rejected under section 59 on the bare ground that they changed the scope from method to composition, with no basis given for the conclusion beyond a recitation of the provision. On inventive step the order offered some reasoning but never engaged the applicant's case on why the cited documents did not lead to the claimed invention. The Registry's own counsel accepted a remand.
