Remittal - (no) - Orientierungssatz
- In the context of the problem-solution-approach, the document to be combined with the closest prior art does not need to state explicitly that it solves the objective technical problem for it to be considered by the skilled person. It suffices that the skilled person is able to recognise that it does so, once the combination document has been found by the skilled person. However, the skilled person still needs a reason to take such a document into consideration (see points 16 to 18 of the Reasons).
