Summary
Mr. Aleshin had argued that Sony has stolen his invention and that it had been passed to them by his then Russian patent attorney. Sony had asked for a decision on the papers for the action to be struck out as having no chance of success and as an abuse of process. Mr. Aleshin agreed to a decision on the papers filed. It was decided that Sony had no case to answer, that there was no evidence that Sonys invention made any use of anything Mr. Aleshin had invented and that most of what Mr Aleshin had disclosed was already in the public domain when he filed his application. Accordingly, the case was stuck out for want of any reasonable chance of success. No finding was made on the abuse of process issue.
