Aristocrat Technologies Australia Pty Ltd v Commissioner of Patents

ARISTOCRAT TECHNOLOGIES AUSTRALIA PTY LIMITED ACN 001 660 715

v

COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS

[2025] HCADISP 7
S131/2024

1. Pursuant to s 40(2) of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth), the applicant seeks removal of the whole of the cause now pending in the Federal Court of Australia, being proceeding numbered NSD506/2024, between the applicant and the respondent ("the Appeal"). The respondent opposes the order for removal.

2. In the circumstances, the Appeal does not raise an issue of wide and significant public importance which requires urgent resolution and would justify the interruption of the appellate process of the Full Court of the Federal Court, the absence of the reasons of that Court, and allowing the applicant to by‑pass the requirements of s 35A of the Judiciary Act.

3. The application for removal is refused with costs.
