A Clear Way Forward for Description Amendments: Decision Issued in G 1/25
The Enlarged Board of Appeal of the EPO has decided in G 1/25 that claim interpretation requires the specification to be read as a unitary process, endorsing the decision in T 439/22 and potentially ending the debate about what it means to ‘consult’ the description. The decision also confirms the EPO can only require description amendments where these are necessary to ensure compliance with certain articles of the EPC.

What Makes a 3D trade mark functional? The General Court Has an Answer
The EU General Court in T‑104/25 has annulled a Board of Appeal’s decision upholding the validity of a registered 3D trade mark for the shape of a carton container. The Court found that the Board failed to properly consider the technical results arising from the use of the 3D mark, emphasizing that the functionality assessment must focus on functional results arising when the product reaches the user. The decision serves as a useful reminder that when assessing technical results of a 3D shape mark it is necessary to consider whether the shape performs a technical function when the product is in use.
