Headnote: 1. While it is inadmissible to combine unrelated or conflicting documents mosaically in order to deny inventive step, it is indeed permissible to consider various publications and information jointly to prove a prejudice or a general trend in the art pointing away from the invention.
2. The disclosure of a quantitative range of values (e.g. for concentrations or temperatures) together with an included preferred narrower range also directly discloses the two possible part-ranges lying within the overall range on either side of the narrower range. Hence a simple combination of the preferred narrower range and one of these part-ranges is also unequivocally derivable and is supported by the disclosure.
Relevant legal provisions:
European Patent Convention 1973 Art 52(1)
European Patent Convention 1973 Art 56
European Patent Convention 1973 Art 84
