Summary
These proceedings relate to the issue of entitlement and in particular a reference under sections 12 and 37 of the Patents Act 1977 in respect of GB2459912 and WO2009/136150. In a previous decision, the hearing officer declined to deal with the case on the grounds that the dispute appeared to have been settled by agreement following mediation, and that any matters outstanding were of a contractual nature and would be more properly dealt with by the court. Both parties subsequently made submissions on the issue of costs. The hearing officer having considered the submissions could find no compelling reason to award costs in favour of either party given that there had been no formal evidence rounds and no hearing. He therefore made no order in respect of costs.
