The June issue of EPI Information features an article by EPO Director
Joerg Machek, and EPO Examiners Daniel Closa, Patrick Corcoran, and
Clara Neppel on the EPO examination practice with regard to
computer-implemented inventions. Four illustrative examples are given
with increasing technical content to illustrate how the EPO deals with
applications concerning computer-implemented inventions.
The article appears to target Representatives not familiar with the
specificalities of computer-implemented inventions and the prosecution
of patent applications thereof.
