Revision as of 14:07, 28 November 2009
In October 2008, the president of the European Patent Office referred question "G3/08" to the EPO's Enlarged Board of Appeals. The purpose was to ask for clarifications for interpreting the exclusion of "programs for computers" from patentability under Article 52 of the European Patent Convention.[1] As part of the referral process, a public consultation was held which ended on April 30th 2009.[2]
You can see the submitted briefs here: Briefs submitted to EPO EBA G3-08.
For the previous discussions on how best to reply to the public consultation (now closed), see EPO G3-08 brainstorming.
