The Patents (Trans-Tasman Patent Attorneys and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2015 seeks to amend the current legislation to remove unity of invention as a ground of pre-grant opposition and re-examination.
It is anticipated that any changes made by the Bill will not have retrospective effect.
“Clause 4 amends section 92 of the Act to remove the right to oppose a grant of patent on the ground that the claim or claims relate to more than 1 invention, and to bring the law back to the position under the Patents Act 1953.”
