1.6.1 Combinaison de caractéristiques qui se rapportent à des modes de réalisation distincts ; la demande telle que déposée n'est pas un "réservoir"

Catchword: 

The mere fact that features are described in the application as filed in terms of lists of more or less converging alternatives does not give the proprietor a "carte blanche" for freely combining features selected from a first list with features selected from a second list disclosed in the application as filed. Any such amendment will only be allowable under Article 123(2) EPC if it complies with the "gold standard" defined in decision G 2/10 (reasons 2.18 of the present decision).
