However, you will have to help me to understand why this fact alone makes it "quasi inevitable" that the EPO and the national courts will differ in their claim interpretation approaches.

As I understand it, determining claim scope is a necessary but not sufficient ste [05:04] schestowitz[TR2] p for determining infringement. That is, merely establishing the scope of a claim does not tell you whether the allegedly infringing acts are, for example, exempted from infringement, infringing by way of equivalence or infringing indirectly (i.e. by inducement).

From my perspective, this means that there is no rule of law or logic which dictates that the separate step of determining claim scope cannot be conducte [05:04] schestowitz[TR2] d by the national courts and by the EPO using an identical approach. Indeed, I cannot see anything in the EPC which obliges the EPO to interpret claims by using a different approach to that adopted by the national courts.

I can certainly understand why the EPO might be inclined to favour an approach that is less time-consuming than that adopted by the national courts. But that does not mean that such [05:04] schestowitz[TR2] a "rough and ready" approach to claim interpretation has any kind of sound basis in law."
