Hi,

reading the interpretation on Art 53 (b) I asked myself how to deal with rule 26(5) of the Implementing Regulations to the Convention on the Grant of European Patents

(5) A process for the production of plants or animals is essentially biological if it consists entirely of natural phenomena such as crossing or selection.

(5) Ein Verfahren zur Züchtung von Pflanzen oder Tieren ist im Wesentlichen biologisch, wenn es vollständig auf natürlichen Phänomenen wie Kreuzung oder Selektion beruht.

Is this definition of "essentially biological" acceptable?

best regards Andreas

I guess I have to file it tomorrow. I hope everything is ok. Johanna will use these pdfs to be published on our website.
