European Patent Office : prosecution overview : prosecuting complex specifications and "written description" concerns
Examiners from the European Patent Office (EPO) provide a brief, general overview of European patent prosecution, followed by a focused discussion of two topics that are of particular relevance to U.S. patent practitioners filing and prosecuting patent applications in the EPO: (i) how the EPO views and deals with complex specifications having multiple independent claims with distinct points of novelty; and (ii) how the EPO applies its substantive "written description" standards under EPC Article 123
