Summary
Both sides requested that the comptroller should decline to deal with a reference under section 72 in light of parallel proceedings in the Patents Court. The Hearing Officer concluded that it was clearly undesirable to have the same or largely similar issues litigated both before the comptroller and the court. He was satisfied that the question of whether these patents should be revoked was one which would now more properly be determined by the court. He therefore declined to deal with the reference.
