Claim 1 as granted, which is in the main request, concerned a multistage gas generator. Claim 1 according to the Main Request, which is identical to claim 1 as granted, was amended before the grant of the present patent. Therefore the ground for opposition under Article 100(c) EPC 1973 prejudices the maintenance of the present patent according to the Main Request. The opposition division found that the shielding plate caused the granted patent to extended beyond the content of the application as file. This is an Opposition appeal. ] of the Enlarged Board of Appeal. Therefore, the board judges that the amended subject-matter according to claim 1 of the Main Request is not directly and unambiguously derivable by the skilled person from the application as filed. 3.10 In view of the above, claim 1 of the Main Request contains subject-matter which extends beyond the content of the divisional application as filed.

And thus, claim 1 of the Main Request would not contain subject-matter extending beyond the content of the application as filed. Claim 8 as filed specifies that “a shielding plate is disposed outside of the opening portion”, i.e. the plate providing the shielding function is clearly situated “outside” and therefore separated from the part or portion providing the opening function. The shielding function is further described as to “prevent flame generated in the combustion chamber provided outside the inner shell from coming into direct contact with the opening portion”. Please check the ISBN that your instructor provided. The idea is that this would force the skilled person to conclude that the shielding plate corresponded to the stainless plate or breaking plate of the description, as these plates already provided a “shielding function”. ]) e.g. by “detaching the breaking member”. The opening portion as defined in this passage comprises holes closed by a breaking member (note: the term “opening portion” would not make sense when describing a part which is always open). Early radio transmitters depended on the crude, but controllable, effects following the passage of a powerful spark between electrodes.

3.3 The mere deletion of passages in the description or deletion of Figure 31 in the documents according to the present Main Request has not been objected to by the respondent. No matter what the present circumstances or the past results, quitting is still a choice. By doing this people will still be able to hear the information while you are not around to explain it yourself. As the latter are naturally natural, the emotion detection and recognition technology will also be useful for security purposes. Now that it is winter it is assuring to know that we are not paying to heat the carpet under our bed. This is the reason why metal fillings are now being replaced by natural looking material. In theory, Martin Jetpack can make the operator up to 8000 feet Why is just 30 minutes worth of fuel, even if you do not want to linger. These types of technical drawings or designs range from patent drawings, CAD 3D models, rapid prototypes, CNC, blueprints, renderings, and even injection molds for mass manufacturing.

Moreover, the description and drawings of the granted patent have been modified by deleting any reference to the term “shielding plate”. As to the amended “Brief Description of the Drawings” (see pages 22 to 24 of the amended description), it is explicitly stated (in particular with reference to Figs. Moreover, the example described with reference to Figure 1 (see page 26 ff. 1 according to the Main Request – in the context of the amended specification – cannot be unambiguously equated to a plate described with respect to an example not forming part of the invention. There are actually many not things like a patent for a certain type of devices for example. There is therefore nothing to provide an impetus to the skilled team to think about the issue at all. I think we all know about the grocery store belt. Unfortunately we know of no direct cause-and-effect relationship between electrical fields and the dimension of time. Did you know a provisional patent is the perfect solution for inventors wanting to protect their idea for the lowest cost?
