    This webinar was recorded in December 2018. Its content is still valid but should be considered in the light of G 2/21 issued on 23 March 2023, where the Enlarged Board of Appeal concluded that the term "plausibility" did not amount to a distinctive legal concept or a specific patent law requirement.
