DECISION OF A SUPERVISING EXAMINER OF PATENTS:
Petty Patent specification 541447 was lodged on 17 September, 1984 and was sealed on 31 January, 1985.
A notice in accordance with sub‑section 68B(3) was filed on 11 September, 1985 by WESTERN STOCK DISTRIBUTORS PTY. LTD. and on 4 October, 1985 the patentee made an application in accordance with sub‑section 68B(1) for an extension of the term of the petty patent. Consequently both the patentee and the informant were represented at a hearing in respect of the above matters on 15 November, 1985.
I am not satisfied of the existence in relation to the petty patent of any of the grounds set out in paragraphs 100(1)(b) to (g) of the Act, and accordingly I grant an extension of the term of petty patent 541447.
I will issue reasons for my decision in the near future.
