    Congrats to them ....... but maybe someone would like to comment on this excerpt from the article ......
    "A claim in a patent or an application relates to a computer program as such if the actual contribution made by the alleged invention lies solely in it being a computer program," the note continues. Interestingly, this clause replaces last year's note which contained the phrase "as such", the wording that let patents slip through in the bill.

    is one "as such" not the same as the other?

    This blog might hold some interest also ......
