Inventive step – claim 2
Inventive step – claim 2
The additional feature of claim 2 is a pocket in one of the side regions. Mr Thomas said in oral evidence that one of the design options that the skilled bra designer would have in their armoury was a pocket to house a removeable electronic item. If sensors were in the pocket it would be necessary to use a mesh pocket to allow access to the skin, also something that the skilled designer would consider as a CGK alternative. I accept that evidence. Claim 2 is obvious over US 845.
