Sommaire

1. The assessment whether in a given opposition case an added feature falls under the exception mentioned in paragraph 2 of the order of decision G 1/93 should only rely on the technical relationship of the added feature with the content of the application as originally filed, as understood by a skilled reader.

2. A feature should not be considered as merely limiting the protection conferred by the granted patent without providing a technical contribution to the invention as claimed, if it interacts with the remaining features of the claim in such terms that it influences the solution of the technical problem which can be understood from the application as originally filed (paragraph 5 of the Reasons).
