- Inventive step
3.3.001 An invention is considered new if it is not part of the state of the art. 3.3.003 The state of the art is also considered to include the content of European patent applications filed before the filing or priority date, but not published until or after that date.
Preparing and filing a European patent application
Formal requirements
Alternatively, if the European patent application is a complete translation of the previous application, you can submit a declaration to that effect. If you designate an association, all communications will be addressed to the association's registered address shown on the grant application form (see clause 4.1.013).
Presenting your invention
A deposit receipt must be filed for each sample of biological material submitted in the application and deposited in one of the recognized depository institutions. Once the abstract has been published as part of the European patent application (see clause 5.3.001), it is no longer amended.
Filing European patent applications
The receipts provided by the EPO's online filing tools also inform you of the European patent application number. The deadline for payment of these fees is four months after the date of receipt.
Filing other documents
Similarly, the search fee paid for a European search is refunded in full if the European patent application is withdrawn, refused or deemed withdrawn before the EPO has started to prepare the search report. The European search fee is fully or partially refunded if the European search report can be based on a previous search report already prepared by the EPO on a national, European or.
The European patent grant procedure
General survey
Decisions on appeals are taken by the independent judicial authority of the Boards of Appeal of the EPO. 5.1.007 In certain cases it may be possible to submit a request for review to the Enlarged Board of Appeal.
Procedure up to publication of the application
The EPO usually issues the European search report within five months of filing the application. The search report is compiled based on the claims, taking into account the description and any drawings.
Publication of the European patent application
5.2.014 After the European search report has been drawn up, the search department determines the final content of the extract and provides it to you together with the search report. 5.3.003 A European patent application shall not be published if it has been definitively rejected or withdrawn or is deemed to have been withdrawn before the completion of the technical preparations for publication.
Examination procedure
If the examining division considers that a European patent cannot be granted, it will reject the application. 5.4.010 If the application and the invention to which it relates meet the requirements of the Convention, the Examining Division will proceed to the grant stage. Depending on the circumstances of the individual case, the investigative department may, for example, issue a
5.4.022 You can amend a European patent application in one of the following ways:.
Opposition procedure
Review of the notice of objection for admissibility 5.5.004 Immediately after receiving the notice of objection, ZAP will. The documents cited in support of the objection or as evidence must be specified in the notice of objection and must be filed at the same time. 5.5.007 After these preliminaries have been completed, the opposition division examines whether the reasons for the opposition prejudice the preservation of the European patent.
5.5.008 If the opposition department finds that the reasons for the objection interfere with the preservation of the European patent, it shall revoke the patent.
Limitation and revocation procedure
If any of these actions are not performed even within this period, the patent will be revoked. 5.6.004 If the request is for revocation and is admissible, the examining division revokes the patent and communicates this to him. The basis of the examination is the patent granted or amended in opposition or restriction proceedings.
If there have already been both an objection and a limitation procedure, the basis for examination is the patent as amended in the last procedure.
Appeals procedure
5.7.008 EPO appeals commissions decide on appeals as a judicial and final instance. When considering an appeal, the Appeals Committee invites the parties to file within a certain period. The oral procedure can be conducted at the request of the client or at the initiative of the appeals committee.
As a general rule, the petition must be filed within two months of notification of the Appeals Commission's decision.
Divisional applications
Renewal fees
General provisions governing periods
Further processing must be requested within two months of the date on which the communication regarding non-compliance with a time limit or loss of rights is notified. 5.10.009 The restoration of rights is excluded in relation to those time limits for which further processing is offered and in relation to the period to request the restoration of rights. 5.10.010 Requests for the restoration of rights must be made within two months from the removal of the cause of non-compliance with the deadline, but no later than within one year from the expiration of the deadline.
Requests for reinstatement of rights in relation to any period referred to in Article 87(1) and v.
How to register transfers, changes of name, licences and other rights
The signatures of the parties to the contract must appear on the documents submitted as evidence. 5.11.007 Upon request, a change in the name of the applicant or proprietor shall be entered in the European Patent Register as long as the proceedings are pending at the EPO and as long as this does not entail a change in the legal identity of the applicant/proprietor. 5.11.008 A European patent application may be licensed or give rise to rights in rem and may be the subject of legal remedies in respect of all or part of the territories of the designated Contracting States.
5.11.009 Rule 22 applies to the registration of the grant or transfer of a licence, the creation or transfer of a real right and any legal means of enforcement affecting such a claim (see clause 5.11.003).
Overview of the procedure for the grant of a European patent
According to this method it is possible to determine the tolerance of the cancer cell to the EGFR. The mutation of the 326th amino acid residue of the B-Raf amino acid sequence may be a mutation in which the isoleucine is substituted. The determination of the presence or absence of the mutation of the amino acid residue described above can be carried out by known methods.
When the mutation occurs at the 326th amino acid residue of the cancer cell's B-Raf amino acid sequence, it is possible to determine that the cancer cell is tolerant to the EGFR inhibitor.
A sample obtained by fixing the prepared two sections to a glass slide was used as a sample for DNA extraction. Separately, a sample was obtained by preparing a section with a thickness of 4 μm and attaching the prepared section to a glass slide used as a sample for microscopic observation. patients.

INTRODUCTION
The user must see the remote control to make selections, because the interface on the controller changes according to the context of the display of the remote controlled device. Although these remotes can be operated by looking at the remote device rather than the remote itself, they may require too much user effort to enter a command. Characteristics of the touch can be used to generate a set of parameters related to the touch.
The software module uses the confidence value and an activity context to determine a confidence level of the touch.
SUMMARY
Likewise, any number of devices can be controlled by the remote control, including a multimedia control program. The touch screen can be configured to receive a variety of inputs in the form of touch gestures in. The data can be received by a remote device or device hosting a remote application and.
The update may be in response to selecting an event from a set of available events recognized by the remote application that is selected based on the context associated with the displayed GUI.
