- Title
Application for central amendment of a patent after revocation at first instance does not of itself render an appeal an abuse of process.
- Authors
Jones, Matthew
- Abstract
The Court of Appeal for England and Wales has ruled that an application for limitation (which is an application for central amendment) of a patent under the European Patent Convention 2000 (‘EPC 2000’), after a first-instance judgment revoking the patent but before the appeal in the matter has been heard, does not of itself render the appeal an abuse of process and can comprise reasonable grounds for a stay of the appeal process.
