Decision G 1/19 of the Enlarged Board of Appeal of the EPO published – Article by Dr. Daniel Herrmann and Felix Hermann in epi Information

22. March 2021/in Publications, Patents and Utility Models

In the journal of the Institute of Professional Representatives before the European Patent Office, BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT German and European Patent Attorneys Dr. Daniel Herrmann and Felix Hermann discuss under the title “G 1/19 released: The Enlarged Board of Appeal decides on the Patenting of Computer-implemented Simulations and Designs” a recent decision of the Enlarged Board of Appeal of the EPO on the patenting of computer-implemented simulations and designs.

The Enlarged Board of Appeal concludes that computer-implemented numerical simulations and designs of a system or process are not to be treated differently from other computer-implemented inventions, thereby rejecting “extreme positions” such as in the reference decision T 0489/14.

In their final assessment of the EPO decision, the authors point out that it will be even more difficult in future for patent applicants to claim and protect a simulation or design process independently of a particular and specific technical input or output or an implied use of the results of the simulation or design process.
