T 1145/10 (Document region protection/MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING) of 26.2.2016

Must read this if you prosecute computer software patents before the EPO. I have seldom seen in practise a working inventive step attack based on common technical knowledge. This EPO Appeal Chamber decision shows how it is done. Just need to read paragraphs 14 to 17.
