# Watch our seminar — EPO decision G2/21: what does it mean, and why does it matter?

G2/21 was an important decision from the EPO which changed the way in which post-filed experimental data can be considered in some cases.

In this seminar recording, [Matthew Smith](https://www.mewburn.com/ja/our-people/matthew-smith) explains what the EPO’s decision said, summarises recent cases which have relied upon it, and discusses how it could impact those who are interested in obtaining European patents.
