Sumitomo SHI FW Energia OY v. Deputy Controller of Patents and Designs, (T)CMA(PT) 50/2023

Case number
(T)CMA(PT) 50/2023
Date of judgment
Outcome
Set aside

Headnote

The refusal engaged only the first cited document. On the inventive step the appellant had actually claimed, the order hardly made a whisper. Addressing one prior art while passing over the explanations offered against it is not a finding on inventive step under section 2(1)(ja).

Disposition

Allowed. Order of refusal set aside.
