Schlagwörter
Main request, first and second auxiliary request - sufficiency of disclosure (no), not enabling over the whole ambit of the claim); Third auxiliary request - sufficiency of disclosure (yes) - Inventive step-(yes) non-obvious modification of a known process; unexpected improvement of the resulting product
Orientierungssatz
If the disclosure of a patent in suit is limited to products which, when prepared by the method according to the invention, are characterised by distinctive parameters, then a claim which does not stipulate these parameters a priori encompasses embodiments which are not obtainable by the method disclosed.
Such disclosure of a single way of performing the invention will only be considered sufficient if it enables a person skilled in the art to carry out the invention within the whole ambit of the claim. If this is not the case, the claim does not meet the requirements of Article 83 and 100(b) EPC.
