Order

For these reasons it is decided that:

- The ground for opposition of Article 100(c) EPC prejudices the maintenance of the patent as granted.

- Each of auxiliary requests 3 (filed as auxiliary request 2 with the appellant-patent proprietor's statement of grounds of appeal), 4, 6, 8 and 10 add subject-matter, contrary to Article 123(2) EPC.

- D1 and D2 disclose the same invention in an enabling manner as claimed in auxiliary request 1.

- The subject-matter of auxiliary request 1 is inventive starting from any of documents D4, D7, D10, D12 and D33, excluding any combination with documents published after the earliest priority date of the patent.

- The appeal proceedings are stayed until the decisions in referral cases G 2/21, G 1/22 and G 2/22 have been issued.
