Orientierungssatz
A party to appeal proceedings should be aware of the methodology established in the case law of the boards of appeal for examining inventive step and should be prepared to submit its relevant arguments in this respect (Reasons, point 18).
A mere subjective surprise of a party in respect of an issue in the reasoning of the decision under review, which the party objectively could have known and on which the party was given an opportunity to comment, does not in itself amount to a violation of Article 113(1) EPC (Reasons, point 19).

Order

The Enlarged Board of Appeal as composed under Rule 109(2)(a) EPC unanimously decides:

The petition for review is rejected as clearly unallowable.
