The fundamental test under Article 123(2) EPC remains the "gold" standard referred to in G 2/10, namely, what would a skilled person directly and unambiguously derive, using common general knowledge, and seen objectively and relative to the date of filing, from the whole of the original disclosure. The decision in T 2619/11 did not lay down a different test, namely, of what was "really disclosed" to the skilled person. Decisions on Article 123(2) EPC are very case-specific and care should be taken in applying statements of Boards of Appeal made in the context of particular factual situations to other factual situations. See point 1.2 of the Reasons. |
