4.2.1. Die Vorinstanz liess den Einwand der Beschwerdeführerin nicht gelten, dass es nicht zulässig sei, das Merkmal "detection step which requires repeated or prolonged exposure to intense illumination" wegzulassen. Sie legte ihrer Beurteilung die beiden folgenden, im angefochtenen Entscheid erwähnten Textstellen in der ursprünglichen Anmeldung zugrunde: - Seite 3:12-18: "In a first aspect the invention provides a method of detecting a fluorescent moiety incorporated in or attached to a polynucleotide molecule, wherein the method includes a detection step which requires repeated or prolonged expo- sure to intense illumination, and wherein detection of the fluorescent moiety is carried out in a buffer which comprises one or more antioxidants." - Seite 4:5-15: "Preferably the method is a sequencing reaction, particularly a sequencing-by- synthesis reaction. In particular the method of invention is of particular utility in a method of sequencing a template nucleic acid comprising incorporating one or more fluorescently labelled nucleotides into a strand of nucleic acid complementary to said template nucleic acid and determining the identity of the base present in one or more of the incorporated nucleotide (s), wherein the step of determining the identity of the base present in the incorporated nucleotide (s) is carried out in a buffer which comprises one or more antioxidants."
