| Keywords: | Normal and special meaning of terms used in patent documents Novelty (yes) |
||||||||
| Catchwords: |
Terms used in patent documents should be given their normal meaning in the relevant art, unless the description gives the terms a special meaning. The patent document may be its own dictionary (T 523/00, T 311/93, neither published in the OJ EPO). Thus, if a special meaning can be derived from the patent document, only this meaning is ultimately decisive. |
