The EPO patent

http://swpat.ffii.org/vreji/pikta/txt/ep/0803/104/

granted to "Object Tech Licensing Corp (US)" (a patent brokerage company?)
in 1997, claims any oop method that allows format-independent handling of
numeric strings, providing the capability of recognising different formats
and assigning them to the object that contains the appropriate scanf
method.

The problem is claimed first as a device and then, in dependent claims, as
a "computer program product" and "computer program".
