Summary
GMCA opposed Black & Decker's application to amend the patent in suit on the following grounds: i) that no satisfactory explanation was given for the proposed amended claims and the duty of full and frank disclosure had not been discharged in relation to any of the amended claims; ii) the amended claims did not distinguish over the prior art; and iii) the amended claims were not clear. The Hearing Officer allowed the amendments.
