Documents cited:Search[L]  - EPO, "Notice from the European Patent Office dated 1 October 2007 concerning business methods", OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN PATENT OFFICE, (20071101), vol. 30, no. 11, ISSN 0170-9291, pages 592 - 593, XP007905525 [L] 1-15 * The claimed subject-matter, with due regard to the description and drawings in accordance with Art. 92 EPC, relates to processes comprised in the list of subject-matter and activities excluded from patentability under Art. 52(2) and (3) EPC. The information technology employed as an enabler for carrying out said processes is conventional. Its use for carrying out non-technical processes forms part of common general knowledge and it was widely available to everyone at the date of filing of the present application. No documentary evidence is therefore considered necessary. (See Official Journal EPO 11/2007, pages 592ff and 594ff) *
