Select Committee on Regulatory Reform Second Report


Appendix B

Letter from the Patent Office to the Clerk of the Committee

Proposal for the Regulatory Reform (Patents) Order 2004

Thank you for your letter of 5th. December 2003, which contained a number of questions posed by the House Of Commons Regulatory Reform Committee.

Please find attached our answers.[134] I note that some of the questions are complementary to each other and that there are a number of instances where a single answer bridges several questions. For convenience in associating these answers with their questions, I have presented all the answers in a tabulated format. A separate table is provided for the answers to questions 23 and 24.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should the Committee require any further clarification or information.

19 December 2003
