Amendment by the introduction of further examples should always be looked at very carefully in the light of the general considerations outlined in paragraphs VI, 5.3 to VI, 5.3.3. The same applies to the introduction of statements of new (i.e. previously not mentioned) effects of the invention such as new technical advantages. For example, if the invention as originally presented related to a process for cleaning woollen clothing consisting of treating the clothing with a particular fluid, the applicant should not be allowed to introduce later into the description a statement that the process also has the advantage of protecting the clothing against moth damage.
