Dear all

the opposition division of the EPO has opened up some new line of arguments based on Art 56 and 83. We have to respond to and I am in contact with lawyers.

Most interesting, under Art 56 they say that random mutations might be considered to show no technical effect and thereby are non-patentable. I guess this line of arguments will need our specific attention and preparation.

if you have any comments, please let me know.

cheers

Christoph
