T 0364/24 - A relatively fast appeal case

Key points

  • "the skilled person, starting from the file of D2 and trying to solve the above mentioned objective technical problem, would have modified the file of D2 according to this teaching of D3, thereby arriving at the claimed subject-matter in an obvious manner."
  • The case is run-of-the-mill, but for the fact that the patent originates from a PCT application filed on 16.03.2005. The decision was issued on 02.05.2025. 
    • EP entry in 2006. Supplementary search started in 2017 (!). Grant in 2021. The appeal did not take too long.
