1. In the absence of any functional interdependencies that establish a synergistic effect, a plurality of routine modifications that the skilled person would each take as a next step and as a matter of routine, amount to a mere aggregation of features that is obvious. 2. In case auxiliary requests limit the scope of protection of the patent progressively, and the auxiliary request that limits the scope furthest is not considered inventive, the previous auxiliary requests are also obvious as these contain less distinguishing features.
