Brief
Summary:
The document discusses improvements to the IPO's tribunal function, specifically in relation to expedited hearings, requesting clarification of grounds, copying other parties into tribunal correspondence, improving enforcement of unpaid IPO costs orders, and providing for cross-appeals in Appointed Person cases.
Additionally, the document proposes changes to preliminary matters in disputes, including the power to strike out a case and the requirement for permission to appeal an interim decision. Specifically, the government suggests introducing a permission requirement for appealing an interim decision separately from the final decision in patents and designs cases, as well as granting the hearing officer the power to strike out or give summary judgment if a party has no real chance of succeeding with their case.
These proposals aim to provide consistency across all registered rights, allow for more efficient handling of hopeless cases, and provide opportunities for parties to be heard before a decision is made.
