| 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). |
