T 0969/18 - Isoprenoids (and acetate)

Key points

  • Issued deep in the summer holidays on 07.08.2023, the written decision of this case where the oral proceedings took place on 25 March ... 2022!
  • The public online file shows no communications under Art. 15(9) RPBA regarding the delay between taking the decision and putting it in writing.
  • Perhaps such communications are part of the non-public part of the file.
  • "The appellant did not dispute the allowability of the current main request in the light of Articles 83, 54 and 56 EPC. Since no reasons to depart from the findings in the decision under appeal appear from the file, the subject-matter and the invention as claimed according to the current main request meet the patentability requirements of the EPC."

  • See also T 0862/17, taken 05.05.2021, issued in writing on 08.08.2023.
