| schestowitz__[TR] | It is farcical to see the president of the BA and the president of the EPO signing a MoU. | Jan 02 04:09 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | One should not forget that the former only has the powers delegated to him by the latter. | Jan 02 04:09 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | The chair of the BA has to approved by the president even if he appointed by the AC. | Jan 02 04:09 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | The day the BA can forward their budget request directly the AC we will be able to see a beginning of perception of independence. But it still remains that the conditions of reappointment have never been published. | Jan 02 04:09 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Only a proper reform of the statute of the BA without any possibility of the president to interfere with the working of the BA will the BA be fully independent. In 2004 an opportunity was sadly missed. | Jan 02 04:09 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | As far as the return to Munich is concerned, the person responsible will never have to support the costs implied. The users and the staff are footing the bill. | Jan 02 04:09 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | But what can you do when immunity means impunity. | Jan 02 04:09 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | And the tail is wagging the dog. | Jan 02 04:09 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | It is a disgrace that the AC does not any longer controls the office and its president. | Jan 02 04:09 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | But the cooperation budget is in good hands. | Jan 02 04:09 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | Board of Appeal finds no legal basis for the requirement to amend the description in line with the claims (T 1989/18) - The IPKat | Jan 02 17:13 | |
| schestowitz__[TR] | " | Jan 02 17:13 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | I suppose this comments thread has gone to sleep now but, if not, I offer the following comment and hope for reaction. | Jan 02 17:13 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | I find para 5. of the "reasons"in the written Decision somewhat superficial because it fails to address the question what does the word "support" mean (in the context of Art 84 EPC). Does it mean i) "backs up" or "corroborates", or does it mean ii) "enables" the claimed subject matter. | Jan 02 17:13 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Suppose I file at the EPO, with a claim to the feature combination A+B+C+D, the EPO searches and finds in prior publication P1 exactly that feature combination. In reply I file a 2-part independent claim to "A+B+C+D characterized by X". I leave the description unamended, whereby it continues to declare that the invention is A+B+C+D. That was true when the patent application was filed but it is manifestly false, as soon as D1 is brought to | Jan 02 17:13 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | light. The unamended WO description text enables the granted claim but does it corroborate the granted claim? I think not. Consider witness testimony at trial. Witness A gives evidence of fact and, later, Witness B gives evidence which flatly contradicts that given earlier by A. Does Witness B "support" Witness A? Isn't that contention a bit of a stretch? | Jan 02 17:13 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Reverting to Para 5 of the Reasons, after the first two sentences, the text simply recites the constraints on using the description to construe the claim. But just because you can't use the description to get to an artificial meaning for the claim does not mean that it is obligatory and in all cases and circumstances to construe the claim as if you have not already read the description (or that the description doesn't even exist). I mean, the | Jan 02 17:13 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | B publication is a single document with several parts. One supposes that the legislator envisaged that the person construing the claim would do it only after reading all the parts of the document, to gain a cumulative undertsanding of its teaching. Shouldn't those different parts then be rendered consistent with each other, to spare the court construing the claim unnecessary stress and confusion? If a description in an EPO B publication flatly | Jan 02 17:13 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | contradicts the granted claim in regard to what the subject invention is, to what extent does that description "support" that claim? In other words, will an enabling description always satisfy the Art 84 requirement that it "support" the claim, regardless how egregiously the description contradicts the claim in its statements of what the invention is? | Jan 02 17:13 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | The EPO has an ongoing practical problem with the strictness of its Gold Standard. Applicants with a deserving invention nevertheless often find themselves in the Bermuda Triangle, needing to amend to comply with Art 84 but unable to do so without offending one or both of Art 123(2) or 84. I wonder whether the motivation for this Decision is to reduce the number of deserving inventions that perish in the Bermuda Triangle. The problem with that | Jan 02 17:13 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | is that easing the requirement to conform the description strictly to the allowable claims will do nothing to help in that regard. | Jan 02 17:13 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Alternatively, the EPO Boards of Appeal are looking for ways to remove aspects of practice peculiar to the EPO (of which conforming the description is one) which increase prosecution costs at the EPO and which therefore irritate bulk corporate EPO filers and so occupy their powerful lobby. | Jan 02 17:13 |
