Headnote: 1. In the absence of any indication to the contrary in the wording, it should be assumed when examining a claim for inventive step that it is directed solely to the simultaneous application of all its features.
2. On the other hand, when the wording of a claim has been established, further determination of how this claim is to be interpreted with regard to definition of the extent of protection conferred in accordance with Article 69 EPC and the relevant Protocol is not a matter for the examining, opposition and appeal bodies of the European Patent Office.
3. The Board of Appeal can therefore only place on record and note the opponents' request in this connection and the patent proprietors' statement in response.
Relevant legal provisions:
European Patent Convention 1973 Art 56
European Patent Convention 1973 Art 69
