Inventive step (no) - Exergue
- 1. The term "subject-matter", without a qualifier, seems to indicate that Article 123(2) EPC applies to non-technical as well as technical subject-matter. Thus, also any amendments concerning non-technical subject-matter should be derivable from the patent application as filed.
2. Since the members of a board of appeal are only required to be technically (or legally) qualified under Article 21 EPC, it will be up to the applicant (or patent proprietor) to provide evidence permitting a board to determine to its satisfaction how a person skilled in the relevant non-technical field would interpret the original patent application and the application (or patent) after amendment (see points 2.2 to 2.4 of the Reasons). - Affaires citées
