- An applicant's acknowledgement in the original application that certain prior art is known is in general not a sufficient reason for not carrying out an additional search (see point 9 of the reasons). The only condition under which an additional search can be dispensed with is where all the technical features of a claim correspond to notorious prior art (see point 10 of the reasons).
Order
For these reasons it is decided that:
1. The decision under appeal is set aside.
2. The case is remitted to the department of first instance for further prosecution.
3. Reimbursement of the appeal fee is ordered.
