Our latest webinar reviews the impact of the recent EPO decision on patenting essentially biological processes and related inventions. If you are interested in patenting plants, animals or related technology, have a watch #patents #plantscience greavesbrewster.vids.io/videos/d39cd9b…

We’re pleased to see a sensible decision today from the EPO’s Enlarged Board of Appeal (EBA) in connection with G2/21 (post-filing evidence and plausibility). 1/3

The EBA decided evidence for a technical effect cannot be discounted solely because it was filed after the filing date of the application or patent. 2/3

They also confirmed applicants or proprietors can rely on a technical effect for inventive step if the skilled person can derive the effect from the application as filed and common general knowledge. Some might say it’s stating the obvious when it comes to inventive step… 3/3
