Proof of the pudding is another one. <br /><br />Their plea is understandable, but has two drawbacks. It is not supported by Art 84, second sentence, and the existence of a long line of case law insisti | Mar 30 15:21 |
| schestowitz[TR] | ng upon adaptation of the description. <br /><br />One thing should however be clarified: it is whether Art 69 should be used or not when interpreting the claims during prosecution at the EPO. The dual use of Art 69 in Mr Hagel's comments shows that clarification is indeed needed. Does Art 69 apply indifferently to the description as filed or as granted is also an interesting question?<br /><br />In my humble opinion, Art 69 and its | Mar 30 15:21 |
| schestowitz[TR] | protocol primarily come into play when it comes to a decision of a national court on infringement under the DoE.<br /><br />In proceedings before the EPO, Art 69 should only play a role when assessing the scope of protection in opposition under Art 123(3). <br /><br />Provided that the claims are clear, which is the primary requirement under Art 84, recourse to the description whether original or as granted, should remain exception | Mar 30 15:21 |
| schestowitz[TR] | al. <br />After all, G 3/14 has set clear limits to the examination of clarity in opposition. If what has been granted is unclear, G 3/14 has made clear that we have to leave with it. That in such a situation it might be necessary to have a look at the description is unavoidable. It should however remain an exception. <br /><br />The difficulty in interpretation of the claims should then not be compounded by leaving in the descripti | Mar 30 15:21 |
| schestowitz[TR] | on original statements which are at odds with what has been granted. One difficulty is enough. This means that the description has to be amended in order for it to “support” the claims. <br /><br />This is especially the case when the claims are amended by combining claims as filed or limited with features from the description or the drawings. In case of dependent claims, it is more than often that their subject-matter is design | Mar 30 15:21 |
| schestowitz[TR] | ated in the original description as optional. When the independent claim is limited with optional features, those features are not any longer optional. That this has to be clarified before grant is manifest. That embodiments not falling any longer under the granted claims should as well be marked as such is also manifest. Last but not least, I still have not seen one patent revoked under Art 123(2) due to the adaptation of the descr | Mar 30 15:21 |
| schestowitz[TR] | iption. <br /><br />As far as Art 84 and support is concerned, we should stick to the fact that we have different, apparently irreconcilable, points of view.<br /><br />But here we are quite far from G 2/21 and assessing IS (or sufficiency). <br /><br />As I commented in another blog, that the two notions/criteria replacing “plausibility” ("encompassed by the technical teaching" and should be "embodied by the same | Mar 30 15:21 |
| schestowitz[TR] | invention") will give raise to “dynamic interpretations” is more than probable.<br />It is a euphemism when the EBA adds that it is aware of the abstractness of the new criteria.<br />Normally decisions of the EBA are meant to clarify a legally confuse situation. Strong doubts are permitted whether G 2/21 answers this fundamental requirement.<br /> | Mar 30 15:21 |
