This Act of Sederunt amends the Rules of the Court of Session to make new rules for causes relating to Patents, Designs, Copyright and Trade Marks. In particular it introduces, in relation to causes relating to patents, a pre-proof hearing at which the court will consider the future progress of the case. It also repeals section 103(2) of the Patents Act 1949 so that (a) an application to the Court of Session for revocation of a patent under the Act of 1949 or under the Patents Act 1977 shall in either case be by petition and (b) the current rules for service shall apply to such a petition.
