The Board held that decisions G2\/12 and G2\/13 should be followed in preference to the rule, thus allowing claims to plants produced by essentially biological processes.<\/p>\n<p>T1063\/18 created uncertainty as to how the EPO would deal with this conflict; were examiners to follow the rules or the Board\u2019s precedent? Many expected that the EPO would have to take action to clarify the legal situation, and many hoped that there would be a referral to the Enlarged Board of Appeal. This has now happened.<\/p>\n<p>To give a little more background, we first reported back in December 2018 on T1063\/18 that the Board considered that controversial R.28(2) EPC is in conflict with A.53(b) EPC, as interpreted in both the Enlarged Board decisions G2\/12 and G2\/13 (\u201cbroccoli II\u201d and \u201ctomatoes II\u201d), and was therefore improper. As a result of this, the Board held that R.28(2) EPC should be ignored, and that plants produced by essentially biological processes are indeed patentable.<\/p>\n<p>In the EPO Official Journal for May 2019<sup>1<\/sup>, it was announced that the President of the EPO has now referred questions regarding this point of law to the Enlarged Board under case number G3\/19. The questions referred by the President are as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Having regard to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epo.org\/law-practice\/legal-texts\/html\/epc\/2016\/e\/ar164.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Article\u00a0164(2) EPC<\/a>, can the meaning and scope of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epo.org\/law-practice\/legal-texts\/html\/epc\/2016\/e\/ar53.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Article\u00a053 EPC<\/a>\u00a0be clarified in the Implementing Regulations to the EPC without this clarification being\u00a0a priori\u00a0limited by the interpretation of said article given in an earlier decision of the boards of appeal or the Enlarged Board of Appeal?<\/li>\n<li>If the answer to question\u00a01 is yes, is the exclusion from patentability of plants and animals exclusively obtained by means of an essentially biological process pursuant to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epo.org\/law-practice\/legal-texts\/html\/epc\/2016\/e\/r28.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rule\u00a028(2) EPC<\/a>\u00a0in conformity with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epo.org\/law-practice\/legal-texts\/html\/epc\/2016\/e\/ar53.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Article\u00a053(b) EPC<\/a>\u00a0which neither explicitly excludes nor explicitly allows said subject-matter?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"doc4net2epop1\">There is some disagreement as to whether the referral is admissible, given that two Enlarged Board of Appeal decisions have already dealt with the patentability of plants and animals exclusively obtained by means of an essentially biological process; G2\/12 and G2\/13. Furthermore, there do not appear to be conflicting T decisions on this matter. However, in the grounds for referral<sup>2<\/sup>, the President argues that there is different case law on the way the existence of a conflict between Article 53 EPC and a Rule which clarifies its meaning and scope is examined under Article 164(2) EPC. Thus, the questions are admissible. The President further argues that the purpose of the President\u2019s right of referral under Article 112(1)(b) EPC is to establish uniformity of law and legal certainty within the European patent system, and that the point of law raised in T1063\/18 is of fundamental importance. \u00a0We concur that clarity on this area is certainly needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"doc4net2epop1\">It is not yet known whether the Enlarged Board of Appeal will decide on this referral or whether they will deem it inadmissible. However, the EPO has announced<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0that any cases whose outcome depends entirely on the Enlarged Board decision will be stayed pending the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>The deadline for filing third party statements is 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0October 2019. We will provide further updates as and when they are announced.<\/p>\n<p>[1] &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/epo.org\/law-practice\/legal-texts\/official-journal\/2019\/05\/a52.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/epo.org\/law-practice\/legal-texts\/official-journal\/2019\/05\/a52.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[2] &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/documents.epo.org\/projects\/babylon\/eponet.nsf\/0\/4F62ECCAF1B2F2F5C12584020026796E\/$File\/Referral%20under%20Art.%20112(1)(b)%20EPC-%20G%203-19.pdf\">https:\/\/documents.epo.org\/projects\/babylon\/eponet.nsf\/0\/4F62ECCAF1B2F2F5C12584020026796E\/$File\/Referral%20under%20Art.%20112(1)(b)%20EPC-%20G%203-19.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[3] &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epo.org\/law-practice\/legal-texts\/official-journal\/information-epo\/archive\/20190410.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.epo.org\/law-practice\/legal-texts\/official-journal\/information-epo\/archive\/20190410.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p__medium\">This update was prepared by HGF Senior Patent Attorney\u00a0<a title=\"Ellie Purnell\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hgf.com\/our-people\/eleanor-purnell\/\">Ellie Purnell<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0If you would like further advice on this or any other matter, please contact\u00a0<a title=\"Ellie Purnell\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hgf.com\/our-people\/eleanor-purnell\/\">Ellie Purnell<\/a>.
