Israel's Commissioner acts on "wrongfully given bureaucratic decision" on Bazedoxifene

Michael Factor (of the IP Factor weblog) has drawn our attention to a recent blogpost of his own, here, on in Ruling Concerning Patent term extension to IL 120701 to Wyeth, 3 November 2014.  This is a somewhat strange tale involving Israel's recently amended patent law. In short, Wyeth filed a request to correct an error in the patent extension order for Bazedoxifene. The Commissioner for Patents did not allow the amendment but cancelled the patent term extension altogether as a "wrongfully given bureaucratic decision". Having established that it was null and void, he ordered that the patent term extension application be subjected to accelerated re-examination under the amended law.

Michael's post contains all the details.
