Catchwords:

The abstract as originally filed does not form part of the content of the application as filed for the purposes of Article 123(2) EPC 2000 (T 0246/86). The word "merely" in Article 85 EPC 1973 is to be understood as meaning "only" and the word "shall" in Rule 33(2) EPC 1973 is to be understood in the sense of "should" or "ought to". In the case of any discrepancy between the abstract as originally filed and the description, claims and drawings as originally filed, it is the latter which prevails.
