- For the subject-matter of a claim to be derivable "directly and unambiguously, using common general knowledge, from the previous application as a whole" in accordance with opinion G 0002/98 of the Enlarged Board of Appeal, such subject-matter must not be novel with respect to the disclosure of the priority document. The application of common general knowledge can only serve to interpret the meaning of a technical disclosure and place it in context; it cannot be used to complete an otherwise incomplete technical disclosure (see point 4 of the reasons).
ORDER
For these reasons it is decided that:
1. The decision under appeal is set aside.
2. The case is remitted to the first instance with the order to maintain the patent as amended in the following version:
Claims 1 to 7 according to the first auxiliary request received during the oral proceedings, with description and drawings as granted.
