Regulation 62A

This rule applies where the court or the Registrar has certified under section 72(1) that a patent is found to be wholly or partially valid in any proceedings before the court or the Registrar (as the case may be), and the fact that the validity of the patent was contested in the proceedings.

If the certificate is given by the court, the proprietor of the patent may file a written request with the Registrar to add to the entry of the patent in the register a note that the certificate has been given in the course of the proceedings, and a copy of the certificate must be filed together with the written request.

The Registrar must, on receipt of the request mentioned in paragraph (2) and the copy of the certificate, add the note to the entry of the patent in the register.

If the certificate is given by the Registrar, the Registrar must add to the entry of the patent in the register a note that such certificate has been given in the course of the proceedings.
