Catchword: 

If an application for which no search has been carried out, inter alia for lack of clarity of the claims, has been refused for the same reason, a board of appeal need only examine whether the claims fail to comply with the clarity requirement of Article 84 EPC to such an extent that it is not possible to carry out a meaningful search (reasons, point 4.2).

Summary and Comments: 

This decision is not relevant as it only discusses whether the particular claim involved was clear enough to carry out a search.
