Summary
No reply was received from Dr Ross in response to respective section 18(3) examination reports on each of the above applications, until a considerable time after the response date set by the examiners. Dr Ross explained that the delay was due to the need to develop the technology of the invention by means of a project which had to be taken through a number of phases. The examiners concerned did not consider that to justify the delay. Neither did they consider that the outcome of decision [2003] UKIntelP o26703, which related to similar considerations in respect of a number of Dr Rosss other co-pending applications, affected their assessments. In a decision on the papers, the applications were refused for failure to comply with section 18(3) of the Act.
