"...... "technical contribution" ....... "technical character" .....
Again, where in Europe is a rigorous definition of "technical"?
Neither the EPO Board of Appeals has provided one (as they admitted
in the Pension Patent decision), nor have their colleagues along
nearby in the German courts (the Pensions decision mentions this
lack of German definition as well).
So I put forth mine. "Technical" is any "applied science" where a
physical quantity is involved. Well, in physics, information is a
physical quantity, so applied information processing, both software
and hardware, is "technical". And therefore patentable.
