- For the subject-matter of a claim to be derivable "directly and unambiguously, using common general knowledge, from the previous application as a whole" in accordance with opinion G 0002/98 of the Enlarged Board of Appeal, such subject-matter must not be novel with respect to the disclosure of the priority document. The application of common general knowledge can only serve to interpret the meaning of a technical disclosure and place it in context; it cannot be used to complete an otherwise incomplete technical disclosure (see point 4 of the reasons).
ORDER

1. The decision under appeal is set aside.
2. The case is remitted to the first instance with the order to maintain the patent as amended in the following version:
Claims 1 to 7 according to the first auxiliary request received during the oral proceedings, with description and drawings as granted.
