IP High Court, Reiwa 6 (Gyo-Ke) 10005 [System for electronic patient care] <Presiding Judge Hibiku Shimizu>
The court found that “web services,” meaning “technology for linking multiple application systems distributed over the Internet (conforming to standards such as XML),” and “transactions,” meaning “a grouping of multiple processes that can ensure data consistency,” had each become common general technical knowledge.
Accordingly, “transaction-based web services” is clear in meaning “web services based on transactions.” Even without a specific explanation in the specification, it cannot be considered unclear.
⇒ Clarity and enablement requirements satisfied (JPO decision revoked).
