T2510/18 – Exceptions to Patentability and Novelty of Naturally Occurring Substances The European Patent Office’s recent decision T2510/18 offers valuable insights into the patentability of naturally occurring substances. The ruling clarifies that the exception to patentability under Article 53(a) EPC applies to the commercial exploitation of an invention, not merely its discovery or development. Additionally, the Board reaffirmed that novelty is determined by what has been made publicly available, not what could be intrinsically contained in disclosed information.
