1993-Revised Patent Law (applicable to applications filed 1994.1.1)

It would be allowed if such a description is recognized as the matter which is directly and unambiguously derivable by a person skilled in the art from the matters described in the specification and drawings initially attached.

In addition, generally, in the light of the spirit of Section 36(6)(ii) of the 1994-Revised Law, a patent application shall not be rejected merely because a claim includes a statement defining a product by its manufacturing process. It is a violation of Section 36(6)(ii), however, if a claimed invention cannot be clearly identified by a person skilled in the art as a result of such claim statements.
