point 18 of the Reasons the Enlarged Board of Appeal held that The purpose of the appeal procedure inter partes is mainly to give the losing party the possibility of challenging the decision of the Opposition Division on its merits It is thus clear that appeal proceedings aim at challenging a decision In decision G 1 99 points 6 1 and 6 4 of the Reasons the Enlarged Board of Appeal further pointed out that issues outside the subject matter of the decision under appeal are not part of the appeal and that within the limits of what in the subject matter of the decision under appeal adversely affects it it is the appellant who in the notice of appeal determines the extent to which amendment or cancellation of the decision under appeal is requested It follows from this that opposition appeal proceedings are confined to what was the subject matter of the first instance proceedings and therefore that the statement of grounds of appeal should at least discuss this subject matter The need for the above mentioned link is thus not only confirmed but also clarified in that the statement of grounds has to address the reasons for the decision under appeal and not only the result The case law see Case Law of the Boards of Appeal of the European Patent Office 7th edition 2013 IV E 2 6 3 has developed further requirements for a statement of grounds of appeal to be admissible namely that it must specify the legal or factual reasons as to why the impugned decision should be set aside The arguments must be clearly and concisely presented to enable the board and the other party to understand immediately why the decision is alleged to be incorrect and on which facts the appellant bases its arguments without first having to make investigations of their own see in particular decisions T 220 83 OJ EPO 1986 249 and T 145 88 OJ EPO 1991 251 Moreover it is also established case law that grounds sufficient for the admissibility of an appeal must be analysed in detail vis à vis the main reasons given for the contested decision see T 213 85 OJ EPO 1987 482 T 169 89 T 45 92 and T 570 07 In the present case the statement of grounds of appeal submitted by the appellant sets out a reasoned argumentation as to why the patent should be revoked for lack of inventive step based exclusively on the newly filed documents However these submissions do not contain any reference to the reasons for the impugned decision let alone any explanation as to why this decision is incorrect and thus to be set aside The board and the respondent are thus facing an entirely new set of facts albeit based on the same legal ground for opposition Moreover the appellant acknowledged that the appeal was effectively based on new documents only and thus on the assumption that the decision of the opposition division

EPC 1973 The simplification introduced in Rule 164 1 EPC essentially restricts the opportunity to have multiple inventions searched within the framework of one application to the international phase only As far as the basis for examination is concerned the document goes on to say The EPO believes that the principle should be that examination should only be carried out on inventions covered either by the international search report or by the supplementary search report in line with G 2 92 This does not appear to the Board to be particularly helpful in the present case as it is still not unambiguously clear whether the or is intended to be inclusive or whether it signifies two separate cases The document CA PL 17 06 is not however the only preparatory document relating to Rule 164 EPC If the preparatory documents are to be consulted as suggested by the appellant then clearly the entire legislative history of the provision should be taken into account Rule 164 EPC was further modified in decision CA D 20 09 OJ 12 2009 582 584 following a proposal to the legislator made in document CA 166 09 This modification which entered into force on 1 April 2010 was made to take into account the introduction of the voluntary supplementary international search report in Rule 45bis PCT and the proposal in document CA 57 09 to dispense with the establishment of a supplementary European search report in cases where the EPO has drawn up a supplementary international search report Although these changes are not relevant per se to the present application for which no supplementary international search report was established or even possible the preparatory document CA 166 09 provides further insight into the thinking of the legislator in relation to the general object and purpose of Rule 164 EPC In particular it is noted in point 8 of the document CA 166 09 that in the case of a lack of unity of invention the EPO will only establish a supplementary international search report for the invention first mentioned in the claims Rule 45bis 6 a i PCT In the document CA 91 13 one of the reasons for the proposed amendment to Rule 164 EPC was explained in the following terms Under current Rule 164 1 EPC if the application documents do not comply with the requirement of unity of invention a supplementary European search report is drawn up on those parts of the application which relate to the invention first mentioned in the claims Any further invention can be prosecuted by filing a divisional application only Point 10 emphasis added by the Board Under point 11 of CA 91 13 it is explained that according to the proposed amendment this will no longer be the case which will put Euro PCT users on the same footing as Euro direct users This whole exercise from consultation to final adoption of the amendments leaves no room for doubt that the legislator s own interpretation of

were not the subject of the contested decision cannot preclude the application of Article 109 1 EPC 1973 cf T 139 87 point 4 T 47 90 OJ EPO 1991 486 point 6 T 219 93 of 16 September 1993 point 4 T 919 95 point 2 1 second paragraph Thus even if the amendments raise new objections not yet discussed interlocutory revision must be allowed since an applicant should have the right to examination at two instances Moreover objections or remarks made in an obiter dictum of a decision under appeal cannot be taken into account in deciding whether or not to grant interlocutory revision since they are to be regarded as voluntary information to an applicant on the preliminary opinion of the first instance department and therefore do not form part of the grounds for refusal see e g T 1640 06 of 15 June 2007 point II T 726 10 of 6 September 2013 point 9 In this regard the board thus cannot follow the conclusion reached in decision T 1034 11 that the first instance department could regard objections raised in an obiter dictum of the appealed decision as being an integral part of the reasons for refusing an application in the event of interlocutory revision being denied cf T 1034 11 of 30 November 2012 point 5 2 The obligation to grant interlocutory revision in certain well defined circumstances is in principle also clearly reflected in the Guidelines for Examination in the European Patent Office in the applicable version of June 2012 cf E X sections 7 1 and 7 4 However pursuant to Article 20 2 RPBA the board considers it appropriate to point out that there are some inconsistencies between the Guidelines and the established case law as to the interpretation of Article

that the claimed properties are effectively obtained the claimed properties remain at an abstract or conceptual level Accordingly the issue of inventive step boils down to the question of whether or not the skilled person in view of the available prior art and his her common general knowledge would in an obvious way have envisaged the claimed set of desiderata Citations The only technical feature defining the claimed reflective polarizer in terms of structural limitations is that the polarizer is a multilayer reflective polarizer meaning that the reflective polarizer comprises multiple layers Rather than specifying the concrete nature of the multiple layers by indicating for instance their total number individual thicknesses composition or sequence in a stack of layers the remaining features of claim 1 only give numerical values for particular spectral reflection properties which the polarizer exhibits when subjected to specific illumination and observation conditions These properties of the polarizer are the result of functional interactions between individual layers each layer requiring specific layer characteristics However the claim does not define any concrete measures on how to ensure that the claimed properties are effectively obtained The claimed properties insofar remain at an abstract or conceptual level Therefore these remaining

of an examination under Article 123 2 EPC is flatly contradicted The Enlarged Board agrees with the opponent that there is no support under the EPC for the idea expressed by the Board of Appeal in case T 231 89 that there is a mutual relationship between paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 123 EPC the one to be applied as primary and the other as subsidiary depending on the facts of the individual case This interpretation is not in line with the mandatory character of Article 123 2 EPC as explained by the Enlarged Board in its opinion in case G 3 89 OJ EPO 1993 117 Paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 123 EPC are mutually independent of each other G 1 93 op cit Reasons point 13 By analogy with the above Article 76 1 EPC and Article 123 3 EPC must be regarded as mutually independent of each other The Board also disagrees with the opponent s view on the manner in which Article 69 1 EPC is to be applied in this respect Article 69 1 EPC states The extent of the protection conferred by a European patent or a European patent application shall be determined by the claims Nevertheless the description and drawings shall be used to interpret the claims Hence in the case of a European patent the extent of the protection conferred is clearly to be determined by the claims of the patent with the description and drawings of the patent being used to interpret the claims The wording of Article 69 1 EPC leaves no room for the opponent s interpretation that Only the description and drawings which comply with the requirements of the EPC and in particular A123 2 and A76 l should be used when considering A69 The importance
