- The requirement underlying the specificity of the use within the meaning of Article 54(5) of the EPC 2000 is according to the explicit conclusion in G 2/08 (see reasons 5.10.3) to be construed merely by contrast to the generic broad protection conferred by the first claimed medical application of a substance or composition, and is in principle not confined to a particular medical indication (see reasons 4.1).
