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.
