Magnum Magnetics Corporation

In the matter of Magnum Magnetics Corporation, the Applicant sought an extension of time to file a divisional application in relation to a patent application. The Applicant argued that the delay was due to an error or omission, or circumstances beyond control, as permitted under section 223(2) of the relevant Act. The court had to determine whether the Applicant's failure to file the divisional application was due to an error or omission or circumstances beyond control. The Applicant provided several Statutory Declarations in support of their request, detailing the events leading up to the delay. The court examined the evidence and the statutory provisions, ultimately concluding that the Applicant's failure to file the divisional application was not due to an error or omission or circumstances beyond control. Consequently, the court refused the Applicant's request for an extension of time. The decision was made by Isaac Tan, a Delegate of the Commissioner of Patents.
