In the 4th<\/sup> quarter (October to December) of 2021, only 2 positively decided cases were added to our knowledge base in which relevant aspects of the claimed-subject-matter were considered technical. For those who do not have the time to read all of our selected decision, in the following, we will briefly summarize these cases.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

T 2010\/17: Selection of an available memory size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The application underlying this decision<\/a> relates to the configuration of circuits. More specifically, a configuration can be locked and protected by a signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feature of “generating a signature representative of the selected memory size<\/a> by the integrated circuit” was considered technical by the Board in charge. However, the Board also ruled that this feature is rendered obvious to the skilled person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T 0227\/18: Supporting multiple instances of the same payment application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This decision<\/a> relates to a method for supporting a plurality of instances of the same type of payment application, e.g. MasterCard PayPass or Maestro PayPass, on a wireless smart device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Board in charge, associating different instances\/bank accounts with the same type of application<\/a> is a technical solution to the problem of how to enable the use of different bank accounts with the same type of application using a single IC card or smart device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
