Link between industrial applicability and sufficiency of disclosure

re: "The industrial application requirement is related to the requirement of sufficiency of disclosure, i.e. the fact that a "patent application must disclose the invention in a manner sufficiently clear and complete for it to be carried out by a person skilled in the art". [3]" - It seems to me that the board does not really intend to indicate a link between the requirements but merely notes that those of both articles will be failed in the case of a perpetual motion machine. In other cases there will be no such link. I propose deleting this paragraph Drshok

Thanks for your note. I have added the condition: "When an alleged invention does not comply with the generally accepted laws of physics, ...". To me, it is interesting to present the possible link, in some cases (and at the EPO), between the non-susceptibility of industrial application and the sufficiency of disclosure, when the alleged invention cannot be carried out due to a violation of a fundamental physical law. --Edcolins 14:01, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
