Summary: Application to amend the statement of claim (to base claims on B2 version of patent instead of B1) was dismissed as devoid of purpose. The judge-rapporteur held that under Art. 68 EPC the B2 version of the patent retroactively replaced the B1 version from the date of grant, so the statement of claim already relied on the B2 version as a matter of law. The revised statement of claim (annexes TW04/TW05) was admitted into proceedings for reference.
