June 11, 2026EPO G 1/26: How the Coated Steel Strips Case Tests Article 123(2)At Solve Intelligence , we build AI tools purpose-built for patent prosecution and opposition workflows. European teams, including cross-Atlantic firms like HG , use Solve Intelligence to stay ahead of EPO doctrine shifts as they happen. In this article, we cover the three referred questions in G 1/26, the practical implications for prosecution and opposition teams, and what to do before the decision lands. Key takeaways G 1/26 asks whether G 1/24's rule to consult the description extends from patentability assessment to Article 123(2) added matter. The underlying case (T 873/24) turns on whether "ratio of titanium to nitrogen in excess of 3.42" means a weight ratio or a molar ratio. The referral poses three sets of questions: admissibility under Article 112(1), the reach of the description in claim interpretation, and the consequences for Article 123(2). If the Enlarged Board extends G 1/24 to Article 123(2), description-based narrowing applies to added-matter assessment across all European proceedings.Read article
