Section 12 seems to contain the real reason why this is a technical contribution:
> The judgment accepts an argument that moving data outside the computer system, in the form of a file that is transferred, provides an external (outside world) technical effect.
> When coupled with the purpose and method of selecting the file’s contents, this fulfils the requirement for a technical effect which avoids the computer program exclusion.
Sounds like these sorts of "decision matrix"-type ANNs are going to now be patentable if there is some kind of application of "special sauce" that can be used to select files or some other external component.
- justinclift 3y agoThat's not really special sauce though. Using data from an external sauce is foundational computing. :(
