Summary
The application is for a handle for carrier bag or bags. The claim under consideration was to a handle designed to facilitate the re-use of carrier bags. The examiner had cited 10 documents in the examination correspondence.
The hearing officer decided that the scope of the claim was to a handle for use with carrier bags, not being the usual handle of the bag or bags. He could find no distinction from the cited documents, and refused the application under section 1(1)(a), with no opportunity given to amend.
