Support Requirement
(Conclusion)
Support Requirement is admitted
*The judgment of the IP High Court Grand Panel case (2006(Gyo-ke)10563) is only applied to a so-called parametric invention, and therefore it is outside the range or claimed up parameter.
*Even if the effect is reduced by a configuration change, support requirement is recognized because it is within a range that can solve the problem.
