Documents cited:Search[L]  - The claimed subject-matter, with due regard to the description and drawings, relates to processes comprised in the list of subject-matter and activities excluded from patentability under Article 52(2) and (3) EPC. The applicant is advised that in accordance with the established practice of the EPO, no search needs to 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. No documentary evidence was therefore considered to be required, as the technical aspects indentified in the present application are considered part of the common general knowledge of the skilled person. For further details, see the Notice from the European Patent Office dated 1 October 2007 (OJ 11/2007; pp. 592 - 593). [L] 1-15
