Onder 2.23 Parket bij de Hoge Raad 24 november 2017

Een alinea uit Parket bij de Hoge Raad 24 november 2017, ECLI:NL:PHR:2017:1282.

“In line with the case law in the ‘leading countries’ elswhere, I would therefore choose to adopt primacy of the claims as the starting point. We might then, I believe, have a basis for introducing the approach that a person skilled in the art who reads the claims in the light of the description and drawings and tries to understand them, will be inclined to do so – by which I mean: to understand the claims – taking due account of the inventive concept described in the patent. This does assume, of course, that the patent clearly discloses a particular inventive concept – if that is not the case, and the court is invited to perform a somewhat random search for an inventive concept that could support a broader construction, such reasoning should not be adopted.
