As far as I can see, the patent office isn't very aggressive when it
objects to patent claims. Their attitude seems to be : we warn them, but
if they want to go ahead, we grant the patent. I think that resources
for processing the application of so much in favor of the applicant that
the examiner cannot spend the time he would need to argue against the
applicant.
Recently the Swedish PTO rejected an application by Ericsson because it
was a mathematical method. Rejection was appealed and the appeal
accepted by the Swedish Court of Patent Appeals (case 00-353) who said
while the appelant had accepted to delete some claims, the invention now
had a technical character, so the case could go back to the SePTO.
