Documents cited:Search[L]  - The claimed subject matter, with due regard to the description and drawings, relates inter alia to processes comprised in the list of subject matter and activities excluded from patentability under Art. 52(2) and (3) EPC. 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 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 the common general knowledge. For further details see the Notice from the European Patent Office dated 1 October 2007 (OL 11/2007; p572f) and the accompanying opinion [L] 1-22
