Headnote
The findings of the Enlarged Board of Appeal in G 0001/05 and G
0001/06, although made in regard to patent applications, are also
valid for granted patents. Thus, in order to meet the
requirements of Article 100(c) EPC, it is a necessary and
sufficient condition that anything disclosed in the granted
patent must be directly and unambiguously derivable from not only
the application on which the patent has been granted but also
from what is disclosed in each of the preceding applications as
filed (see item 3.1 of the Reasons).
