CLR I D 9.10 Selection inventions | XEPC: EPC and PCT resource

Error message

Deprecated function: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in include_once() (line 1445 of /home/patently/domains/xepc.eu/public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc).

Deprecated function: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $nid is implicitly treated as a required parameter in include_once() (line 1445 of /home/patently/domains/xepc.eu/public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc).

In T 2623/11 the board stated that for selection inventions, only if the selection is connected to a particular technical effect, and if no hints exist which lead the skilled person to the selection, may an inventive step be accepted. In the case in hand, there was no support in the application for the claimed selection being connected to any particular technical effect. Moreover, hints existed in the state of the art which led the skilled person to the selection.
