Headnote

The order held the invention to lack an inventive step without discussing the cited document at all, and concluded that both section 2(1)(ja) and section 3(k) stood in the way of grant without any reasons substantiating that decision. The applicant was given liberty on remand to put further submissions beyond those already before the Controller.
