Regulation 104: Application for revocation
Up one level
The application for revocation should be accompanied by a statement of case, which must explain fully:
(i) the nature of the applicant’s interest in opposing the patent (this interest must not be frivolous, vexatious, or blackmailing but should be both commercial and genuine);
(ii) the basis that the applicant relies on for the grounds identified in the application for revocation; and
(iii) the relief that the applicant seeks, e.g. costs.
Please note that under revocation proceedings the applicant is the person applying for the patent to be revoked and the patentee is the owner of the patent.
