Leitsatz

Whether a previously undisclosed technical effect which in fact inevitably occurs when a previously disclosed technical teaching in a written description is carried out has been made available to the public by reason of the teaching in the written description is a question of fact which has to be decided in the context of each individual case (consequential upon Decision G 2/88 of 11 December 1989 "Friction reducing additive/MOBIL OIL III", OJ EPO 1990, 93).

Schlagwörter
Novelty of a second non-medical use with same technical means of execution
Compounds disclosed for use as rust inhibitors in oil compositions
No disclosures of the use of such compounds as friction reducing additives for oil compositions
Claimed invention not made available to the public
