[1986] APO 31
•16 September 1986
In the Matter of the Patents Act 1952
‑ and ‑
In the Matter of Application No. 522675 for a
Patent by PPG INDUSTRIES INC.
‑ and ‑
In the Matter of Section 59 Opposition
thereto by STAUFFER CHEMICAL COMPANY.
FINAL DECISION OF A SUPERVISING EXAMINER OF PATENTS:
In a decision in this matter dated 18 September, 1985 I found that the complete specification failed to comply with section 40. I allowed the applicant sixty days in which to request amendment of the complete specification.
On 20 November, 1985 the applicant lodged a section 77 request to amend the complete specification. Subsequent to proceedings under section 79 the request to amend was advertised on 8 January, 1986. The request was allowed on 8 May, 1986 and the amendments were incorporated into the complete specification.
I am satisfied that the amendments remove the basis for my earlier findings against the specification as mentioned above.
I am of the opinion that there is no lawful ground of objection to the application or complete specification proceeding to sealing, subject to any appeal.
