Keywords

Zulässigkeit der Vorlagen (bejaht) - anzuwendendes Recht
Artikel 33 (1) b) EPÜ und materielles Patentrecht - Vertrauensschutz
Regel 26 (5) EPÜ und Artikel 2 (2) der Biotechnologierichtlinie als erschöpfende Definitionen (bejaht) - 'Kreuzung' und 'Selektion' - natürliche Phänomene aufgrund einer Rechtsfiktion (verneint)
Entstehungsgeschichte des Artikels 2 (2) der Biotechnologierichtlinie - widersprüchliche Bedeutung der Vorschrift - keine Heinweise zur Auslegung des Begriffs "im Wesentlichen biologisches Verfahren zur Züchtung von Pflanzen" in Artikel 53 b) EPÜ
Bedeutung dieses Ausschlusses: Züchtung von Pflanzen versus Pflanzensorten - 'production' versus 'Züchtung' und 'obtention' (nicht entschieden)
Auslegung von 'im Wesentlichen biologisch':
Analogie zu Artikel 52 (4) EPÜ 1973 (verneint) - Ansatz der computerbezogenen Erfindungen (verneint) - Ansatz von T 320/87: vom Stand der Technik abhängige Kriterien (verneint)
Systematischer Kontext von Artikel 53 b) EPÜ - Entstehungsgeschichte des SPÜ und des EPÜ 1973
Schlussfolgerungen aus der Entstehungsgeschichte:
Ausschluss von Verfahren, die auf der geschlechtlichen Kreuzung ganzer Genome und der anschließenden Selektion von Pflanzen basieren (bejaht)
Hinzufügen eines technischen Schritts, der der Ausführung der Verfahrensschritte dient - nicht ausreichend zur Überwindung des Patentierungsverbots
Aufnahme eines Schritts in dieses Verfahren, der selbst das Genom der erzeugten Pflanze modifiziert - nicht von der Patentierbarkeit ausgeschlossenes Verfahren

Keywords

Admissibility of referrals - yes - Applicable law
Article 33(1)(b) EPC and substantive patent law - Protection of "legitimate" expectations
Rule 26(5) EPC and Article 2(2) Biotech Directive as exhaustive definitions - yes - Crossing and "selection" natural phenomena by way of a legal fiction - no
Legislative history of Article 2(2) Biotech Directive - Contradictory meaning of the provision - No guidance on the interpretation of the term "essentially biological process for the production of plants in Article 53(b) EPC"
Meaning of that exclusion: production of plants vs. plant varieties - production vs. "Züchtung" and "obtention" (not decided)"
Interpretation of 'essentially biological':
The Article 52(4) EPC 1973 analogy (no) - the computer-related inventions approach(no) - the T 320/87 approach - criteria linked to the state of the art (no)
The systematic context of Article 53(b) EPC - the legislative history of the SPC and the EPC 1973
Conclusions from legislative history:
Exclusion of processes based on sexual crossing of whole genomes and on subsequent selection of plants (yes)
Addition of technical step serving the performance of the process steps - not sufficient to escape exclusion
Inclusion within that process of a step by itself modifying the genome of the plant produced - process not excluded from patentability
