Europe, Disclaimers

The Enlarged Board of Appeal has issued its decision over the allowability of disclaimers. It has been ruled that a disclaimer for prior art under Art 54(2) EPC (full prior art relevant for novelty and inventive step) is also allowable (as well as for prior art under Art. 54(3) EPC – relevant for novelty only) under specific conditions.
