Headnote
A refusal under section 3(b) for likely harm to animals was set aside where the specification showed the enzyme process was for the beamhouse or wet treatment of hides and skins in tanneries, that is on dead animals, even though it did not say so in explicit terms. The applicant was given liberty to amend to make that clear. On inventive step the Controller relied on one of four tables put forward and cherry-picked parts of another.
Disposition
Allowed. Matter remanded for de novo consideration by a different Controller, with liberty to amend.
