Case number
CMA(PT) 8/2023
Date of judgment
Judge
Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy
Outcome
Remanded

Headnote

Three grounds of refusal, each answered on the record. The paragraphs of the specification setting out the process were never referred to, the claim itself gave the numerical range said to be missing, and the obviousness conclusion was drawn with no reference to any prior art at all. Where a range seems too wide or a term undefined, the Controller can call for an amendment.
