INTERNATIONAL SEARCH REPORT Internat 1 Application No PCT/US 00/11882 C. (Continuation) DOCUMENTS CONSIDERED TO BE RELEVANT Category ° Citation of document, with indication. where appropriate, of the relevant passages Relevant to claim No. A WO 97 42179 A (MERCK & CO.) 1-11 13 November 1997 (1997-11-13) page1W 1 International Application No. PCTAJS 00 A 1882 FURTHER INFORMATION CONTINUED FROM PCTASA/210 Continuation of Box 1. 2 Claims Nos.: 1-7 Present claims 1-7 relate to an extremely large number of possible compounds. Support within the meaning of Article 6 PCT and/or disclosure within the meaning of Article 5 PCT is to be found, however, for only a very small proportion of the compounds claimed. In the present case, the claims so lack support, and the application so lacks disclosure, that a meaningful search over the whole of the claimed scope is impossible. Consequently, the search has been carried out for those parts of the claims which appear to be supported and disclosed, namely those parts relating to the compounds prepared in the examples and closely related homologous compounds The applicant's attention is drawn to the fact that claims, or parts of claims, relating to inventions in respect of which no international search report has been established need not be the subject of an international preliminary examination (Rule 66.1 (e) PCT). The applicant is advised that the EPO policy when acting as an International Preliminary Examining Authority is normally not to carry out a preliminary examination on matter which has not been searched. This is the case irrespective of whether or not the claims are amended following receipt of the search report or during any Chapter II procedure.
