| Headnote: | 1. The provisions of the EPC governing the requirements for patentability and those relating to the extent of protection fulfil different functions. A claim directed to subject-matter which, though coming within the extent of protection provided by the EPC, does not meet the requirements for patentability laid down in Articles 52 to 57, is not allowable. A known product is not rendered novel merely by means of further definition (as a "product of process"). 2. An objective assessment of inventive step starting from the closest prior art implies that the latter has been positively identified and considered. |
