Orientierungssatz
The Enlarged Board of Appeal determined in G 2/98 that it is a condition for the compliance with the requirement of "the same invention" that the claimed subject-matter is directly and unambiguously derivable from the earlier application. However, the Enlarged Board did not conclude that the requirement of "the same invention" is necessarily satisfied if this condition is fulfilled, irrespective of any technical information associated with the claimed subject-matter, which is only described in the subsequent patent application.
