Summary
The claimant sought entitlement to a patent application (subsequently withdrawn) to an invention created by the defendant and filed in his name. The claimant claimed there had been an oral agreement between four individuals, including the defendant, that the claimant would be set up and would file the patent application for the defendant’s invention.
The hearing officer found that there had been an oral agreement to set up such a company, with a 60% shareholding by the defendant. However, the claimant company did not possess any of the attributes of the company agreed on, and thus was not entitled by the agreement to ownership of the patent application.
