Last week, the Enlarged Board of Appeal finally published its long-awaited decision G1/19 about the patentability of computer simulations. Does it revolutionize the patentability of computer simulations and patents for software in general, as some had hoped? Or is it rather a controlled evolution of the EPO’s framework for computer-implemented inventions?
To find out I talked to a number of great experts in the field: Rudolf Teschemacher, Martin Wilming, Martin Huynh, Martin Schweiger and Christof Karl. Many thanks to everyone for contributing!
You can read the whole decision G1/19 here.
This podcast has a video version on YouTube, too:
What are your thoughts?
Now on to you. What’s your first impression about the Enlarged Board’s thinking in G1/19? I’m excited for your feedback. Share your thoughts in the comments!
Talk to you soon,
Bastian
