Designing a wiring path/YAZAKI – T 1371/16 – 17 September 2021
In this decision the subject matter is a simulation for designing a wiring path. Claim 1 does not specify any further use of an output wiring path data of the simulation, further properties or specific data format that could limit the possible uses of the data. Therefore, the output data...
Masking a private key/CERTICOM – T 0556/ 14 – 28 July 2016
In this decision in a patent a method of masking a privat key is claimed. It is considered not to be a mathematical method as such, because storing on a smartcard (hardware) was claimed. The claimed method achieves some protection against power analysis attacks and thus have a technical effect...
Koprozessor zur modularen Inversion/GIESECKE & DEVRIENT – T 2318/08 – 23. Mai 2012
This decision provides a known cryptographic coprocessor and a known Euclidean method. However, it is not known how to use free bit sections in the coprocessor to speed up the method. Therefore, the clever use of a known coprocessor to speed up the implementation of an equally known method solves...
Programmiersystem/RENNER – T 1539/09 – 18 July 2013
The invention is directed to a graphical programming language and environment that should enable a user to create programme code without a great deal of learning effort or special expertise. The definition and provision of a programming language does not contribute to the solution of a technical problem according to...
Configuring a system-of-systems with membrane computing/SIEMENS – T 1565/ 17 – 9 January 2018
In this decision the appellant argued inter alia, that it is not possible to prove the expected technical effect and that this obliged the board to accept the effect unless it could “falsify” it. Object of the Invention: the application relates to what is called the “configuration of a system-of-systems“...
Expert system/SCHINDLER – T 1817/ 14 – 4 July 2017
This decision concerns information modelling by a user to create a data structure, where this modelling has no technical effect. Therefore, the modelling steps are considered as an aim to be achieved in a non-technical field and used for the formulation of the technical problem (COMVIK II). The data structure...
