G3/19: Products exclusively obtained by an essentially biological method finally excluded from patentability
G3/19: Products exclusively obtained by an essentially biological method finally excluded from patentability
Philippe BESSIERE
, French & European Patent Attorney
G3/19 concerns a referral to the Enlarged Board of Appeal by the President of the European Patent Office (EPO) following decision T1063/18 (Pepper) by a Board of Appeal which concluded that Rule 28 (2) EPC, prohibiting the grant of a European patent for plants obtained exclusively by an essentially biological process, was in conflict with the previous interpretation of Article 53 (c) EPC by the Enlarged Board of Appeal in decisions G 2/12 and G 2/13 (Brocoli / Tomato).
