The applicant is advised that in accordance with the established practice of the EPO, no search need be performed in respect of those aspects of the claimed invention. The only identifiable technical aspects of the claimed invention relate to the use of conventional, general-purpose data processing technology for processing data of an inherently non-technical nature. The information technology employed is considered to have been generally known as it was widely available to everyone at the date of filing/priority of the present application. The notoriety of such prior art cannot reasonably be contested. Accordingly, no documentary evidence is considered required, as the technical aspects identified in the present application (Art. 92 EPC) are considered part of common general knowledge. For further details see the Notice from the European Patent Office dated 1 October 2007 (OJ 11/2007; p592f) and the accompanying Opinion. *
The EPO accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of data originating from other authorities; in particular, it does not guarantee that it is complete, up to date or fit for specific purposes.
