Leitsatz

An effect (in this case, growth regulation) not previously described, but actually occurring during the execution of a known teaching (in this case, use as a fungicide) and intended as the basis of a use invention, has at any event not been made available to the public (thereby anticipating the use invention) if it is not revealed so clearly during such execution as to disclose the invention's essential character, at least potentially, to an unlimited number of skilled persons (point 3.1 of the Reasons for the Decision) (cf. G 6/88, OJ EPO 1990, 114).
