IMPORTANT POINT DECIDED. Yesterday morning the Registrar of Patents gave an important decision as to who nmy oppose a grant of patent in iNew Zealand. The case 1 related to a sheep-shearing maeihilio for which an application for patent was mado by the Wolsley Sheep Shearing. Machino Company (represented by Messrs. Baldwin anil Rayward). The application was opposed by Alexander Gilbert Hutchison (for whom Messrs. Higgs and O'Donnell appeared). Tt was contended on behalf of the applicant that tho opponent was not a person having an interest in the alleged invention, and that, therefore, he had no "locus' standil" to oppose tho application. It was urged on behalf of the opponent tint the Now Zealand Act differed from the English Act in that the grounds of opposition wero broader, and that the class of persons entitled to opposo was uot limited a- in the English Act, The Registrar upheld tho latter contention. Ho al6o decided that there was no subject, matter for a patent in the Woisicy Sli'eep Shearing Machino Company's application, and he accordingly refused to sraiit tho patent.
