Extension of the appeal
Inventive step (yes)
Non-obvious alternative
Structural closeness
Common general knowledge - disregarding of evidence (unjustified)
Catchword
Evidence which did not comprise a comparison of the claimed subject-matter with the state of the art, may, nevertheless, rebut a prima facie assumption that there existed some common general knowledge, which would have allowed the skilled person to disregard structural differences of chemical compounds (No. 4.6).

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 grant a patent with Claims 1 to 9 as published and the description, pages 1 to 28, also as published.
