| Catchwords By deleting all claims as granted of one category, restricting the defence of the patent to the subject-matter of a combination of granted claims of another category and relying on an alleged combinatory effect of the features of the thereby formed independent claim, the amendments made to the patent as granted have in substance created a fresh case which justifies examination as to whether the amended patent meets the requirements of the EPC (see point 2.1.1 of the Reasons). |
