1. The exception to patentability under Article 53(b) EPC applies to certain categories of animals but not to animals as such.
2. In particular in the case of genetic manipulation of animals involving, as in this case, the insertion of an activated oncogene, there are compelling reasons to consider the provisions of Article 53(a) EPC in relation to the question of patentability.
