Summary

In an earlier interim decision, the comptroller had refused an application to amend a patent but allowed the parties two months to comment on the possibility of an order allowing a further opportunity to amend. The normal time limit for lodging an appeal against the interim decision was six weeks from the date of the decision. The patentee now sought to have that time limit extended to six weeks from the date of the anticipated order, on the grounds that they ought to know the form of the order before having to decide whether to appeal. The extension was granted.
