The appellate court held that the appellant retained moral rights of attribution and integrity despite assignment of economic copyright, found that the respondents reproduced and modified substantial parts of the appellant's dissertation without attribution in the challenged patent thereby infringing her moral rights under s.25(2)(a) and s.25(2)(b) CA 1987, and concluded that the patent was anticipated by the appellant's 2013 dissertation and therefore invalid and revoked; consequentially the appellant was entitled to damages, aggravated damages, interest and costs.
