July 14, 2013
The Appeals Court held that an argument that was not raised in first instance proceedings, shall not be considered a new matter, and consequently be dismissed, if it only further specifies or clarifies the line of argumentation in first instance. On the other hand, f the plaintiff refers to the specifics of a technical teaching disclosed in prior art for the first time at the appeal stage in order to support a nullity attack, it shall be considered a new matter, even if this prior art was already filed in first instance.
